It was your dream job! A gallery, your own gallery! You were so excited about it!”<br />LOLA<br />(Sighs) I know… I know. But it was so far away, all the way in New York, and Dean didn’t want to move so… you know. They’ll be other chances.<br />BLONDE GIRL<br />Well, as long you’re okay with it and happy, right?<br />lOLA<br />(Unsure) Yeah… no I am. I’m happy. I’m just going to pop upstairs, put my bag down. I’ll see you later. Thanks for coming.<br />Lola walks away. The hotel is less decorated the further she walks.

Two people inside, the boy and girl, also dressed for a party.<br />Boy:<br />Don’t worry about it. Every one’s completely oblivious.<br />Int. Lola is still in the lift. Doors open with a beep.

You look really nice tonight, Gaby.<br />Cuts back to boy and girl, who are in an embrace. Audience can hear Lola’s heels clanking against the floor.<br />Cuts to a close up of Lola’s phone.

X x x.”<br />Lola smiles and puts phone away, reaching for the door handle. Audience can hear girl inside the room giggling.<br />The door opens.
