ROBERT
Congratulations on winning the lawsuit honey
Wish I could've been there

LANA
It's okay
You were there in spirit ❤️
I'm so glad it's all over

ROBERT
So am I
It's about time you finally put this ordeal behind you

LANA
I should hope so 😌
I've been so busy with this lawsuit it feels like I've barely spent any time with you lately
All I want right now is to focus on us

ROBERT
Speaking of which
Can I ask you something?
Kind of unrelated

LANA
Yeah?

ROBERT
Do you plan on telling Nolan about us anytime soon?
You know I've already told Avri
She took it really well

LANA
Oh
Well
I've been thinking about it
It scares the crap out of me tbh

ROBERT
Why?

LANA
Do you really want to know?

ROBERT
Jeez what is it?

LANA
I'm going to get really cheesy for a minute
So bear with me okay?

ROBERT
Okay 😅

LANA
Well the truth is
I know we've been together a few weeks
But it hasn't really registered just yet
I'm afraid of telling Nolan because it will make everything much more real
Like it will burst our little bubble, you know?

ROBERT
What's the problem with things being real
They are real to me Lana

LANA
Because I'm afraid that you'll realise the kind of shitshow it is to really be in a relationship with me, and once you do, you won't stick around much longer
And this is a dream I'm not ready to wake up from

ROBERT
You forget I've already seen you at your worst
And I'm still here, aren't I?

LANA
Yes, you are
I can't quite believe it tbh

ROBERT
Believe it
I love you and I'm not going anywhere

LANA
I don't think I'm ever going to get used to hearing you say that

ROBERT
Hey
We've come a long way since San Fransisco

LANA
We sure have
You know what
Nolan is napping right now
But I think I'm going to tell him about us when he wakes up

ROBERT
Are you sure?

LANA
Yeah
I just need to find a way to say it that he'll understand
No point in delaying it any longer
You know he absolutely adores you
So I'm sure he'll take it just as well as Avri did

ROBERT
I guess that's one of the perks of dragging it on for so long 😂

LANA
Hahaha true
Probably won't even be a surprise to them
I love you Robert

ROBERT
I love you
Let me know how it goes

LANA
Will do
