*Writing the Letter**
The scene shifts back to Theo in his room, sitting at his desk, pen in hand, writing another letter to Lola. His room is bathed in the warm afternoon light, the soft sounds of birds chirping outside his window. The mood is light and hopeful, the kind that comes when you’ve decided to be honest with yourself and the people who matter to you.
Theo sits, hunched over his paper, his thoughts pouring out in a steady stream of words. This letter feels different from the one he wrote months ago—the one that was full of nerves and uncertainty. This time, it’s clearer. It’s not about confessing or trying to win her over. It’s about letting her know how much she means to him, flaws and all.

**Theo’s Inner Monologue as He Writes:**
**Theo’s Voice (in narration):**
*Dear Lola,*
*I’ve been thinking about everything that’s happened lately, and I realized something. I never really told you what I see when I look at you. Not just what I like, but all the little things that make you… you.*He pauses for a moment, tapping his pen on the desk before continuing.

**Memory 1: Her Laughter**
**Theo’s Voice (narration):**
*The first thing I noticed about you was your laugh. I remember sitting in the library, and you were with your friends. You laughed at something—something small, probably—and it filled the whole room. It wasn’t just loud, it was... happy. It was like you didn’t care who heard or what people thought. You were just in the moment, and I thought to myself, ‘I want to be around that kind of energy.’*---
The scene flashes to the memory in the library. Lola is sitting with her friends, her laugh ringing through the quiet space, carefree and full of life. Theo, sitting a few tables away, sneaks glances at her, captivated by the way she doesn’t hold back.

**Theo’s Voice (narration):**
*But you’re not always like that. Sometimes you’re serious, and focused, and it’s hard to tell what you’re thinking. You’re intense when you need to be, and it’s kind of intimidating. But even then, there’s something real about you. You don’t do things halfway. When you care about something, you put your heart into it, and that’s something I admire.*---
**Memory 2: The School Play**
The scene flashes to the school play, where Lola is in full rehearsal mode, delivering her lines with passion and focus. Theo watches from backstage, impressed by how committed she is to the role, how effortlessly she commands attention without even trying. He sees her laughing with the cast, and then moments later, slipping back into her serious, focused demeanor.

**Theo’s Voice (narration):**
*There are things about you that people might not like. You can be stubborn. Like that time during the play rehearsals when you refused to change your line because you thought it was better the way you wrote it. Everyone else was frustrated, but I understood it. You care about things being right, and even if you’re a little tough when you’re in that mode, it’s because you care.*---
The scene cuts to a memory of Lola standing her ground during rehearsals, passionately defending her choice of a line while the director looks exasperated. Theo watches from the sidelines, smiling to himself, knowing that while Lola’s stubbornness might frustrate some, it’s part of what makes her who she is.

**Theo’s Voice (narration):**
*You’re not perfect. No one is. You can be a little impatient. Sometimes you talk too fast, and it’s hard to keep up with everything you’re saying. You get frustrated when things don’t go your way, and I’ve seen you get a little moody when something’s bothering you but you won’t say what it is.*
