RILEY is sitting in the bay window in her room, looking nervous. LUCAS comes in through the window and sits down.

LUCAS: What'd you want to talk to me about?

RILEY: (takes a deep breath) I've always wanted a love like my mom and dad's. So I said things I didn't mean, made promises I couldn't keep, and I kissed you like I loved you. I'm sorry if I hurt you. I didn't mean to.

LUCAS: (scared) Riley...what are you saying?

RILEY: (another deep breath) I don't think this is going to work out. (hurriedly) You're such a great person and I love being your friend but I think we can both see we're not supposed to be together.

LUCAS: (showing no emotion) Okay.

LUCAS leaves through the window. RILEY almost calls out to him, then stops, but looks sad.
