AUSTIN: Hey, what's that about?
PEYTON: Your hands no longer make me feel safe.
AUSTIN: I'm sorry, Pey. What I did was wrong. Will you forgive me?
AUSTIN proceeds to touch PEYTON's neck and hair. PEYTON begins to calm down.
PEYTON (whispers): Yes.
AUSTIN (whispers): Good.
AUSTIN becomes more intimate with PEYTON.
PEYTON: Aus?
AUSTIN continues to caress PEYTON's neck.
PEYTON: Austin?
AUSTIN: Mm?
PEYTON: I- I-
AUSTIN stops caressing PEYTON.
AUSTIN: Be carful what you say.
PEYTON looks down in desperation and regret.
PEYTON: I love you.
AUSTIN: I know. I love you too.
PEYTON sobs silently. AUSTIN pulls her hair behind her ear.
AUSTIN: It's ok. You'll be ok.
AUSTIN hold PEYTON's hand and kisses it. PEYTON cries.
AUSTIN: Shh, shh. Let's get you to bed.
AUSTIN hugs PEYTON. They walk away to the bedroom.
