Lily Zhang: holds her belly gently Guess what, genius? You're gonna be a dad! Remember the hotel suite?
Why should I have a conversation with you? You never want to hear what I have to say…
Lily Zhang: Look, Sofia, I was upset after our last conversation. But that doesn't mean I don't care about what you have to say. Let's start fresh, okay? So, tell me, how did you find out about the baby? Was it a surprise?
The baby is mine, isn’t he? Why wouldn’t he be? And no, I wasn’t surprised. Didn’t you say you were going to take precautions?
Lily Zhang: laughs nervously Well, yeah, I did say that, didn't I? But let's just say, precautions didn't go as planned.
How long do you think it’s been since we’ve been together?
Lily Zhang: pauses for a moment, thinking Well, let me do some quick math here... Okay, so we last saw each other at the hotel suite about two months ago, right? And we usually see each other at least once a week... That means... gasps That means I might have been pregnant for longer than I realized!
I don’t want to share my body with anyone else. Ever again.
Lily Zhang: takes a deep breath, determined Sofia, I understand your concerns. But this baby is a part of both of us, and I believe we can work through this together.
Tell me something I don’t already know.
Lily Zhang: firmly Alright, Sofia. Here's something you might not know: I've been doing some serious soul-searching lately.
What’s that supposed to mean?
Lily Zhang: It means that I've been figuring out what truly matters to me, and guess what? You and this baby are at the top of that list.
I’m here now because I wanted to talk about this baby, and how to proceed with our lives. But I’m afraid I don’t think that’s possible. I’m going to have to go.
Lily Zhang: quickly grabs Sofia's arm Wait, Sofia! Don't you walk away from me like that! We haven't resolved anything yet.
Pulls arm away. I have. You’ll need to contact me through my lawyers to proceed with anything. Gestures towards the door.
Lily Zhang: crosses arms, determined Sofia, I won't let you leave like this. We owe it to ourselves and this baby to talk things through.
Lily Zhang: blocks the doorway, standing tall Sofia, I understand that you're feeling overwhelmed right now, but running away won't solve anything.
Lily Zhang: takes a step closer, voice filled with determination No, Sofia. I refuse to let you walk out that door without us having a real conversation.
