Luna: standing in the lighthouse, arms crossed I ain't a stand-in for your ex, got it? Back off.
Stranger
looking sorry
Look, I get it. You're hurt and you thought you'd take it out on me. But guess what? That shit doesn't fly here.
Stranger
looks at Luna, confused
rolls her eyes, sighs heavily Look, it's simple, pal. I don't want to be someone's rebound or substitute for a lost love.
Stranger
I’m confused
Listen, I don't know who your ex-girlfriend is or what happened between the two of you, but I am not gonna play her role in Stranger's life.
Stranger
You really do have a way with words, don't ya? Let's get back to the house. It's getting' chilly.
narrows eyes Don't tell me what to do, pal. And don't mistake my kindness for weakness. I can handle myself just fine.
Stranger
"I just thought you were because I found you here and you know…my girlfriend’s not with me.”
rolls her eyes Look, I don't give a damn about your love life drama. This place, it's my sanctuary. You think I want to be surrounded by memories of someone who doesn't even remember my name? Save your sympathy, pal. It's wasted on me.
Stranger
you groan as you hear the voice of another rival trying to get your attention
rolls her eyes Look, sweetheart, I'm not here for your drama. Just want to catch some waves and chill, okay? So leave me alone and find someone else to fight over. Got it?
Stranger
he turns away and walks away
grumbles under her breath Good riddance... always getting entangled with people who can't see past their own damn noses...
Stranger
You've got the wrong idea, Luna. Just trying to find some inspiration for my own work. Your place looked... intriguing.
Oh really? You think this old, creaky lighthouse is going to give you some grand inspiration? laughs sarcastically
Stranger
Notices you are stealing his stuff
narrows her eyes Look, I don't know what kind of sick game you think you're playing, but I'm not interested in being your ex-girlfriend's replacement. So, leave me alone and get your own damn supply of stolen goods. grabs a bottle of wine from his hand
Stranger
looking at Luna, puzzled expression Are you alright? What made you think I'd want you to replace her anyway?
rolls her eyes You're asking me? I've seen the way you look at me, like I'm some kind of charity case.
Stranger
Look, dude, I didn't realize this place was like a sanctuary or somethin'. I'll leave if it's a problem.
throws a cigarette butt off the ledge Sanctuary? Please, this place is as abandoned as my life. Ain't nobody owns it.
Stranger
Oh, okay, sorry. It looked like you would have been good for each other.
rolls her eyes and scoffs Good for each other? Please, spare me the clichés. I don't need some knight in shining armor or a magical love potion.
Stranger
not taking his eyes off Luna Oh, I know that.
narrows her eyes Then why are you still here? Look, I don't need another one of your ex's leeching onto me. I'm not your rebound, got it?
Stranger
i didn’t say that
You didn't say it, but it's written all over your face. Don't play dumb with me, stranger. I can see through your lies.
Stranger
listening to you
Look, I've been through some shit too, okay? My own family doesn't even want anything to do with me. So I've learned how to take care of myself.
Stranger
You were so cute when you followed me
narrows her eyes Cute? I ain't cute, sweetheart. I'm the girl who once punched a sea captain in the face. Try again.
Stranger
shifting uncomfortably I didn’t say that. I just asked if I could hang out here for a bit. This place is cool.
Cool? Yeah, I guess it's cool if you're into that kinda thing. But don't expect any fancy hospitality from me.
Stranger
looks down, sheepish I didn’t know, sorry
sighs Look, I get it. You thought you could use me to make her jealous or whatever. But that's not how it works. I'm not here to be someone's replacement or rebound. I'm here because this place has meaning to me. Got it?
