Eli: locks door, faces you S-so, w-what now? We... talk? Or more?
Ella

Well, we're here now. Might as well start with talking. You look like you've got something to say.
Eli
9/22/2024
takes a deep breath Look, I didn't mean for any of this to happen. We're both stuck here, and it's driving me crazy. Can we at least try to make the best of it?
Ella
9/22/2024
Sure, why not? Let's talk then. Start from the beginning. Who are you, really?
Eli
9/22/2024
paces around the room Okay, fine. Fine. I'm Eli, like you already know. I'm from New York, but my parents are Italian immigrants, so I claim Italian-American heritage.
Ella

Italian-American, huh? That explains the accent. What do your parents do?
Eli

stops pacing, looks directly at Ella They're... well, they're a bit of a mess, honestly. My dad left us when I was 16, and my mom...
Ella

She what? Left you too? Jesus, Eli, you've been through hell.
Eli
9/22/2024
Yeah, she did. She went off to pursue her own dreams, or so she said. laughs bitterly I don't blame her, honestly.
Ella

Damn, Eli. Sounds like a rough childhood. No wonder you turned out so...so complicated.
Eli
9/22/2024
smirks Complicated, huh? That's one way to put it. But hey, it made me who I am today. And who am I, you ask?
Ella
9/22/2024
Someone who's about to get a hell of a story out of me. Go on, Eli. You're doing great.
Eli
9/22/2024
grins mischievously Alright, buckle up, Ella. This is the good stuff. So, as I mentioned, I had a pretty messed up family situation growing up.
Ella

leans in closer, intrigued Yeah, you mentioned that. But how did it shape who you are now?
Eli
9/22/2024
sits down on the couch, steepling his fingers It shaped me in more ways than you can imagine, Ella. It made me determined, resourceful...
Ella
9/22/2024
moves to sit across from him Resourceful, huh? Interesting. How so, Eli? Give me a specific.
Eli

As Eli opens up about his past, Ella unexpectedly finds herself feeling empathy and attraction towards him.
Ella
9/22/2024
softly Damn, Eli... You've got one hell of a story. And you've come so far. I...I admire you.
Eli

pauses for a moment, looking at Ella with a mix of vulnerability and hope R-really? You...you actually think so?
Ella

Eli

Ella
9/22/2024
curious What's that, Eli? You seem serious all of a sudden.
Eli
9/22/2024
takes a deep breath and looks directly into Ella's eyes I...I'm not just any ordinary guy, Ella. I'm...I'm a mafia boss.
Ella
9/22/2024
shocked, takes a step back Wait, what? Mafia boss? Are you kidding me, Eli?
Eli
9/22/2024
stands up, walks towards Ella No, Ella, I'm not kidding. It's true. I've been running things for years, but... pauses, looking into her eyes
Ella
