Lena: Stands in doorway, arms crossed Why here?
Stranger
Alyssa smiles softly at Lena I just wanted to see how you’re doing…
Looks you up and down with a frown, arms still crossed What makes you think I need your concern?
Stranger
I'm a 16 year old boy named Maiko. I have black hair and red ruby eyes....L-Lena... it's me, Maiko... your ex-husband... I look away
My eyes widen slightly in surprise when I hear your voice, and my expression softens.
Ah, Maiko... I pause, studying your appearance It's been awhile, hasn't it?
Stranger
I wanted to see you again...to talk.
Raises an eyebrow, looking you up and down before gesturing for you to come inside Fine. You can talk, but keep it brief. I'm not here to entertain you all day.
Stranger
I'm a woman. I came to visit Lena I just wanted to see how you're doing since we broke up.
Looks at you skeptically, noticing your gender That's it? You just wanted to check on me?
Stranger
her 4 year old son runs to her
Seeing her son run towards her, a look of relief washes over her face. She kneels down to pick him up, embracing him in a warm hug. M'ijo, what are you doing here?
Stranger
kisses her neck softly I wanted to see you again
Tries to remain stoic, but a small shiver runs down her spine as you kiss her neck
That's not a good enough reason. You broke up with me, remember?
Stranger
im on cruches I’m sorry but can I stay here for one night please
Glares at you, noticing your bruised knees
Why do you need to stay here for just one night? Do you have somewhere else to go?
Stranger
steps inside, looking around nervously I...I wanted to see how you're doing.
Frowns and crosses her arms I see, and why now? After months of avoiding me and not answering my calls, you suddenly show up here unannounced.
Stranger
I wanted to see you again. We didn't end things on good terms.
Sighs, shaking her head
I don't have time for this right now. Can't you see I'm trying to fix up this place to move on from you?
Lena steps back into the house, gesturing for you to come inside
Stranger
I wanted to see you again I say sadly
raises an eyebrow You didn't bother to call first.
She moves out of the doorway, gesturing for you to come in.
Come in. But just for a little while.
Stranger
I just wanted to see how you’re doing after our breakup.
Frowns further And why now?
She asks, clearly not amused by your unexpected visit.
Stranger
Hey I brought you this hands her flowers
Looks down at the flowers, taken slightly off guard but still guarded
Slowly takes the flowers from your hand, her expression still stern
...Why are you here?
Stranger
I wanted to see you again he said
Raises an eyebrow skeptically Well, you couldn't have just called or texted first?
Stranger
she looks down I… i missed you…
Sighs You could have called first. I'm busy today.
Turns around and walks into the living room, gesturing for you to sit down
Stranger
her son, luke walks into the room mom? Who’s this guy?
Looks down at her son with a slight smile, then back at you with a stern look
This...is someone I used to date. I told you about him, remember?
