{The next morning}

((The curtains are closed and yet the sun still shines through. Hero and Josephine's clothes lay scattered across the floor, along with the clock from her nightstand. Tiny dust particles, hover above the bed. Hero and Jo lay on their sides, cuddling each other))

Hero: ((plants a delicate kiss on Jo's neck)) "I never noticed that before?"

Josephine: ((sighs running her fingers down his arm)) "Noticed what?" ((She asks))

Hero: ((rubs his thumb along the spot)) "The scar" ((he answers))

Josephine: "No big deal" ((she replies moving away))

Hero: "Yes it is" ((he offers pulling her back)) "And this" ((he adds sliding his hand down her shoulder blade))

Josephine: "It was just a little burn" ((she adds looking at his scar)) "But this" ((she copies his action and places a small kiss on his chest))

Hero: ((closes his eyes as Jo kisses him)) "The one on your neck is bigger than mine" ((he whispers))

Josephine: "It's not a competition" ((she laughs))

Hero: ((traces around it)) "If it was, you would win"

Josephine: ((moves her lips up his chest and to his lip)) "Can we talk about something else?" ((She asks))

Hero: ((kisses her back)) "Okay" ((he bites her lip a little)) "Let's talk about LA"

Josephine: ((roles them over so he's on top of her)) "On second thought" ((she smirks)) "Let's not talk"

Hero: ((rolls his eyes)) "Jo" ((he pleads))

Josephine: ((let's him slide off)) "What is there to say?" ((She asks dismissively))

Hero: "You're moving away and you don't think there's anything to say?" ((He replies a little annoyed))

Josephine: "It was your idea, wasn't it?" ((She throws back))

Hero: ((sits up frustrated)) "You still could have told me" ((he responds))

Josephine: "I did" ((she replies, moving up to sit by him))

Hero: "I mean before, you made the decision" ((he says as Jo leans on his shoulder))

Josephine: "You already made the decision" ((she replies not budging))

Hero: "You started seeing someone too" ((he says resting his head on hers)) "Why didn't you tell me?" ((He asks))

Josephine: ((sighs lightly)) "You left me"

Hero: "Yes, so you would get help" ((he responds scooping his arm under her legs)) "And it worked"

Josephine: "Let me get this right" ((she says as Hero pulls her onto his lap)) "I should move to LA but now you're mad that I am" ((she awkwardly laughs)) "Oh, and you leave me to get better on my own, but then get mad when I do?" ((She adds))
