SCOTT'S BEDROOM – NIGHT

The room is dimly lit.

Scott and Devereux are in bed. They are snuggled close together. Each appears lost in their own thoughts.

There is a long silence before anyone speaks.

SCOTT
(quietly)
I guess you can go home now . . .

DEVEREUX
(somewhat flatly)
Yes.

SCOTT
I wish I could go too. But I know the reasons why.

DEVEREUX
It's not possible.

SCOTT
Yeah, I know.

DEVEREUX
(choked)
Scott . . .

Scott stares at her, unable to speak.

DEVEREUX (CONT'D)
(whispers)
In a few days . . .

Devereux stares back at Scott. It is not clear whether she wants to cling to him or flee. Scott waits, swallowing hard.

SCOTT
We have now . . .

DEVEREUX
(nods slowly)
We have now.

Devereux reaches for Scott, almost desperately. She kisses him forcefully, purposefully. It takes only a moment before Scott returns in kind.
