Sarah
HELLO?! Allie, where did you go?!
Sarah
Wth. You better answer me tomorrow morning.
Sarah
WTH, ALLIE. Where are you?!
Allie
Remember that gorgeous guy Kevin I was talking to last night?
Sarah
You went home with him?!
Allie
I mean, I’m in his house now, so… 😉
Allie
And he’s out getting us breakfast 😍
Sarah
No way! How do you always get the good ones?
Allie
Just lucky, I guess.
Sarah
So have you done any snooping yet?
Sarah
Well, YEAH! You’re all by yourself in his room…
Sarah
Think of the digging you could do!
Allie looks around the bedroom.
Kevin’s closet door is wide open…
Allie
I don’t know, Sarah…
Allie
I feel like that’s a really big invasion of privacy.
Allie
But I do want to change into something comfier…
Sarah
Yes! Get in there and rifle through his stuff!
Sarah
He can’t expect you to stay dressed in your walk of shame clothes.
Allie gets out of the bed.
She rummages through the drawers in Kevin’s closet.
In the top drawer, she just finds a bunch of socks.
But then in the second drawer…
She roots through the drawer to find the perfect pair.
Until something small and solid hits her hand…
Sarah
What?! Did you find a severed finger?
Sarah
A diary full of secrets?
Allie sends Sarah a picture of a small black box.
The next picture is of the diamond ring inside it.
Allie
Do you think it’s real?
Allie
Is he seriously engaged?!
Sarah
Well, he has the ring…
Sarah
So he can’t be engaged yet, right?
Allie
Come on, you know that’s not any better!
Allie
And seriously, who keeps a diamond ring in their drawer?!
Allie
He’s obviously getting engaged!
Sarah
You should ask him…maybe he has a valid excuse?
Allie
Yeah…but if he doesn’t…
Allie begins to text Kevin.
Kevin
Hey gorgeous. Getting into my car now…
Kevin
Hope you like donuts with vanilla icing and sprinkles.
Allie
Ugh, those are my favorite. Why did you have to get my favorite?!
Kevin
Wait, what? Are you mad about something?
Allie
Well, I was making myself at home…
Allie
And came across a little something in one of the drawers in your closet.
Kevin
You were digging through my stuff?!
Allie
You said to make myself at home!
Allie
I was just looking for a pair of sweatpants.
Allie
But that’s not the point!
Allie
The point is that you have a DIAMOND RING in your drawer.
Allie
Who keeps a diamond ring in their drawer?!
Kevin
I know it looks weird, Allie. But I can explain…
Just then, Allie hears someone knocking at the front door.
Allie
Wait, did you just get home?
Kevin
No…still 5 minutes away. Why?
The knocking continues, followed by a woman’s voice.
Allie
Someone is at the front door…
Allie
It sounds like a woman.
Allie
Wait, is it your future fiancé?
Kevin
How am I supposed to know?
Kevin
It’s not like I invited anyone over!
Kevin
And besides, it’s not like that.
Allie
Is that supposed to comfort me?
Kevin
Allie, please, listen to me.
Kevin
That ring was for my ex, Laura.
Kevin
It’s over between us. I promise.
Allie
Yeah, but it was obviously a serious relationship!
Allie
You were going to propose!
Allie waits impatiently for Kevin’s reply.
Kevin
Yes, I gave her the ring. Past tense.
Kevin
But then she did something terrible.
Kevin
So I broke things off. And she gave it back.
Kevin
Look, please Allie…it’ll be so awkward…
Kevin
Please don’t answer the door.
Allie
Don’t worry, that’s the LAST thing I want to do.
Allie
I definitely don’t want to meet her.
Kevin
Fair. Has she left yet?
Allie peaks down the hall, listening carefully for Laura.
Suddenly, a blur goes past the window and towards the backyard.
Allie
She’s trying to get in through the back!
Allie
I think she might have seen me!
Kevin
Crap! She knows where the spare key is.
Allie sees the knob to the back door start to turn…
So she runs back into the bedroom, slamming the door behind her.
Laura
Kevin? Honey? Are you home?
Laura
Why didn’t you answer the door?
Allie listens as the woman walks down the hallway.
Her steps stop at Kevin’s bedroom door.
Laura
I came over because I want to make this work, honey.
Laura
I’m willing to put in the effort. I want to repair what we had.
Allie texts furiously on her phone
Allie
Kevin, you have GOT to be kidding me!
Allie
She wants to get back together with you?
Allie
Does that make me your palette cleanser before your happily ever after?
Allie
Breakfast in bed. I should have known better!
Kevin
Allie, that’s not how it is!
Kevin
Laura and I broke up because she was cheating on me.
Allie
And you didn’t think to hide your spare key in a new spot?
Allie
Sounds like you were hoping she’d walk back into your life…
Kevin
I know it may seem like that, but please trust me when I say it wasn’t.
Kevin
Calling off the wedding was a horrible experience.
Kevin
I swear I just forgot to move the key.
Kevin
Please. I’ll get there and deal with this.
Kevin
I’ll talk to her, I promise.
Laura starts pounding on the bedroom door.
Laura
Kevin, I can see your shadow.
Laura
I know you’re in there.
Allie texts Kevin again, even more furiously this time.
Allie
Laura knows someone’s here…
Allie
Can you please hurry??
Allie
I really don’t want to have to deal with this woman.
Kevin
Ugh, I know. I’m so sorry.
Kevin
I’m seriously only a couple minutes away.
She felt this unreal connection with Kevin…
Like the world shifted, and then clicked into place.
But does he have too much baggage to be the right guy for her?
Laura
Please, Kevy. I need to talk to you. About last night.
Laura
Greg said you met someone. He said you…
Laura
Completely transformed the moment you started talking to her.
Laura
That she made you seem…light.
Laura
Please, Kevy. I used to be that person for you.
Laura
Please let me try to be that person again.
Just then, Allie hears a car pull up to the driveway.
Kevin’s voice fills the apartment.
Kevin
Laura, what are you doing here?
Laura
Wait…if you’re out here…
Laura
Then who’s in there?
There’s a beat of silence.
Laura
Oh my god. It’s her, isn’t it?
Kevin
She has a name and it’s Allie.
Kevin
I’d appreciate if you used it. Because unlike you…
Kevin
She was invited into this apartment.
Kevin
Laura, you can’t just let yourself in anymore.
Laura
But Kevy, I wanted to surprise you!
Laura
Don’t let some tramp get in the way of what we had.
Laura
I know you’re not that stupid.
There’s another beat of silence.
Allie swears there’s smoke coming out of her ears.
If Kevin doesn’t say something soon…
She’ll barge out there herself.
But then she hears Kevin’s voice — low and lethal.
Kevin
Don’t ever call her that again.
He sighs and his voice changes.
His heart fills his words.
Kevin
I really like this girl, Laura. I like her a lot.
Kevin
She and I, we just…clicked.
Kevin
It felt like…we were destined to meet.
Kevin
That I could finally be with someone in a real way again.
Kevin
And if you actually care about me…
Kevin
Please don’t try to ruin that.
Kevin
Because I won’t let anyone make me lose my chance with her.
Allie is so stunned that every last thought disappears from her mind.
She has to see Kevin. Now.
Her legs seem to walk on their own towards the bedroom door.
Her hand juts out and twists open the doorknob.
And when she walks out of the bedroom…
Kevin is immediately there, scooping her up in his arms.
He gives her a feverish kiss.
And looks deeply into her eyes.
Kevin
She’s the kind of girl who deserves breakfast in bed.
