Moving Forward

Ready or Not

INT. COTERIE - KITCHEN - MORNING

Dennis is putting some eggs on a plate for himself as Davia quickly walks out of her loft in a hurry, her bag slung over her shoulder. Dennis smiles up at her.

DENNIS
Hey babe. Want some eggs before you go?

Davia looks up at him quickly, her eyes distracted.

DAVIA
What?

DENNIS
I can make an egg for you quick before you leave.

DAVIA
Oh no I really have to go.

Dennis walks over to her, trying to reach for her hand as she side steps away from him. Davia hesitates for a quick second, backing away a little bit. Dennis blinks, searching her face.

DAVIA
See you later, okay?

Davia turns, walking towards the doors as Dennis grabs her hand, spinning her back towards him.

DENNIS
Hey, are you okay?

DAVIA
I'm fine. I just really have to go to work.

DENNIS
Your acting weird.

Davia rolls her eyes, smiling lightly.

DAVIA
Dennis, I really have to go.

DENNIS
Do you have time to kiss me before you leave?

Davia swats his chest playfully, rolling her eyes.

DAVIA
Fine.

Davia leans in, planting a fast kiss on Dennis' lips. He blinks, barely feeling it as Davia turns around and walks towards the doors.

INT. COTERIE - ALICE'S LOFT - MID MORNING

Alice walks into her loft, putting the toiletries she bought at the store on her couch. Sumi follows in behind her, asking tons of questions.

SUMI
So you and Ruby are dating?

ALICE
Yes.

SUMI
I thought you said she wasn't interested in dating anyone right now.

ALICE
Well things change, okay?

SUMI
Why didn't you tell Lindsay?

Alice clenches her fists, getting frustrated. She spins around to face Sumi.

ALICE
Frankly, I didn't think it was their right to know.

Sumi crosses her arms.

SUMI
You should've at least said something.

Alice rolls her eyes, rubbing her face.

ALICE
(sarcastic)
Oh sorry, my bad.

Alice walks over to her bed, sitting down. She begins untying her shoes. Alice looks up at Sumi.

ALICE
Why aren't you with Lindsay now?

SUMI
They don't want to come over here anymore.

ALICE
Because of me, right?

SUMI
Well...you did lie.

Alice stands up. She takes an angry breath.

ALICE
I didn't lie!! It's not anyone's business who I'm with!!

Sumi just blinks, a confused look on her face.

SUMI
Why are you getting so upset? I'm on your side! ...And Lindsay's.
