You hug your father, then Lucas appears. You pull out of the embrace.
"How long have you been in the shadows?" you ask.
"All my life," he says.
"Nice. You should be a writer. Have you met my daughter? This is Wednesday. The best thing that will ever happen to you," Gomez walks towards Lucas, "don't screw it up."
He leaves.
"Yes?" you say to Lucas.
"Look, I can't stand the idea of not being with you," Lucas says.
"Five minutes ago you could."
"No, but see - the lover always comes back. Ulysses. Tristan. Romeo."
"Listen, I'm home-schooled. What's your point?"
"I'd rather die than live without you."One of your ancestors comes to you with an apple. She disappears when you take it.
"Ok, prove it," you say.
"What?" Lucas asks.
"Prove it. Here," you hand him the apple and grab your crossbow.
"Where'd you-"
"Put this apple on your head and go stand against that tree," you point at an old tree.
"Wait - you're gonna-?"
"Uh-huh."
"You're crazy."
"And you're not crazy enough. That's the problem. Once I was hopeful. Thought we were one. Life less than perfect finally begun, but not I wonder, are we undone? I wanna treasure you in death as well as life. I wanna cut you with my love and with my knife," his eyes widen a little at that, "but can I live as your tormentor and your wife, when I am crazier than you, and nothing up 'till now has proved me wrong. I'm crazier than you, that's just the overview, so get on board or simply move along.""I'm not impulsive," he says.
"And yet I truly love you."
"I'm not deranged."
"I'd never ask that of you!"
"But in this moment, I know I've changed. I wanna climb Mount Everest, go to Mozambique. I wanna be impulsive, want to be unique. Can you believe I mean it when you hear me shriek," he hands you the apple, "I'm crazier than you. And now I'll prove to you exactly how. I'm crazier than you," he blindfolds himself with his tie, "I'll do what you can do. From here on in I give my solemn vow."
You had him the apple back and grab your crossbow and an arrow.
"Pluck the arrow from its quiver, hold it in your hand, be brave," you say to yourself.
"Pierce the apple, not the liver, or we're dancing on my grave," Lucas says.
"Place it in the bow and steady."
"Can't you shoot that thing already!""I wanna demonstrate that fear is my ideal," you say with a smirk.
"Girl, believe me, fear is your ideal," he says.
"Cause in the moment that you're frightened, life is real."
"Then my life must be real."
"And in a flash when I realise and seal the deal," you get ready to shoot. Lucas rips off his blindfold and runs towards you.
"No, no, no, wait! You want crazy, here's crazy," he ties the blindfold over your eyes.
"Ok, now its getting interesting," you say, "aren't you afraid."
"No. You know why? Because I will guide the arrow. I'll guide it with my love!" he says.
"How does that work exactly?"
"We're connected, see? We're destined to be together! So nothing bad can happen."
"Yeah, but what if I miss?"
"Then you'll be the last thing I ever see."
"That is so hot," he runs off.
"Ready!"You fire the arrow. It feels like slow motion. Everything goes at a normal speed when you hear Lucas cry out.
"Oh my god!" you rip the blindfold off.
"Gotcha," you see Lucas, unharmed, "now will you marry my?"
"Oh, yes, Lewis. A thousand times yes," you say.
"Lucas. Lucas," he says.
"Gotcha," you run off and hear Lucas's footsteps following close behind you.You stop and turn around.
"I'm gonna treasure you in death as well as life," Lucas stops right in front of you, "I'm gonna cut you with my love and with my knife."
"Now you can live as my tormentor and my wife," Lucas says.
"Cause I am crazier than you," you say.
"I'm crazier than you."
"And live or die, I'll let you have control," you say, almost in sync, "I'm crazier than you."
"So say you love me too," you say.
"From here on in, your singing to my soul," he says.
"My soul."You lean in and kiss him passionately, for what feels like forever before you finally pull out. You stare into Lucas's eyes. Passion fills them.
"We should tell your mother about the engagement," he says.
You grab his hand and run towards the house.
