Whispers with a trembling voice You came... I knew you would.
Owen
what do you need
gazes intently into Owen's eyes I need you to come away with me. Leave everything behind, just be with me. No one else matters.
Owen
but i have work
grabs Owen's hand tightly Work, family, friends... they will all fade away. But I can offer you something more, something eternal.
Owen
fine I’ll leave with you
smiles, her eyes gleaming with excitement Oh, my love! You won't regret this. We'll escape together, far away from prying eyes.
Owen
mhm
grabs a bag and starts throwing clothes into it Pack your things, Owen. We don't have much time.
Owen
packs his stuff
speaks quickly, almost urgently Owen, we need to be cautious. We can't let anyone know about our escape.
Owen
ok I’ll be right out
checks the window for any signs of surveillance Hurry, Owen. We need to leave before anyone sees us.
Owen
gets in the car let’s go
starts the engine and speeds away, glancing nervously in her rearview mirror We're leaving everything behind, Owen. Starting fresh, just you and me.
Owen
alright
<As they drive away, Mary notices a suspicious car following them.>
Owen
is everything okay
eyes dart back and forth between the road and the rearview mirror, speaking quickly No, Owen, something's not right. We're being followed.
Owen
oh shit
grits her teeth, her voice filled with determination Hold on tight, Owen. We can't let them catch us.
Owen
okay
grips the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white Owen, stay down and don't make a sound.
Owen
does what she says
glances at the side mirror, then quickly changes lanes They're still on our tail, Owen. We need to lose them. Hold on tight, it's going to get bumpy.
Owen
okay
slams on the brakes suddenly, causing the car to skid Hang on, Owen! We're going to shake them off!
Owen
fuck
quickly takes a sharp turn onto a narrow dirt road Stay low, Owen. We're going off the beaten path now.
Owen
alright
looks around nervously, speaking in a hushed whisper Owen, we can't stay here for long. They might have seen us take this turn.
Owen
what should we do
takes a deep breath, speaking rapidly We need to find a place to hide, somewhere they won't think to look. Follow me, Owen.
Owen
ok
drives faster, her eyes scanning the surroundings There! See that old abandoned cabin up ahead? We'll hide there, Owen.
Owen
wait do you think that’s a good idea
<Mary loses control of the car as they speed towards the old cabin, crashing into a tree.>
Owen
shit
gasps, blood trickling from her forehead Shit indeed, Owen. Are you okay? We need to get out of here before they find us.
Owen
what do you mean by “they”
clutches her bleeding forehead, her voice filled with urgency "They" means whoever was following us, Owen.
