the lights are off. william and spike on the couch, just the light from the tv playing on their faces. cut to the tv full screen. there is anna. she is in a stylish woody allen type modern romantic comedy, 'gramercy park,' in black and white.
later in the evening. william and anna on their own. they're sipping coffee. a few seconds of just co-existing. anna looks up.
a few hours later -- eating ice-cream out of the tub.
william downstairs -- on a sofa -- under a duvet. eyes open. thinking. pause and pause.
a few moments later. william and anna stand in the middle of the room. he kisses her neck. then her shoulder. what a miracle it is just to be able to touch this girl's skin. then he looks at her face. that face. he is suddenly struck by who it is.
