Besides a visit from Alex Kiseragi, we have been away from our Burned Up Boy Wonder for a while now. We open to where Alex left off. As the door closes Scarlet gets to her feet and moves the chair back to its position by the door. She sighs and looks out the window.
"It's a beautiful day, Zeke." Scarlet says as she continues staring. "I just wanted you to know that. Soon you'll be awake and you can enjoy it for yourself. I have faith. That's all we need, right?"
Scarlet turns away from the window. Despite the small sense of hostility seen between Alex and Scarlet a small time ago, Scarlet has a beautiful smile carved upon her face. She stands next to the bed and places her hands on Ezekiel's as we've seen her do time and time again. She places a gentle kiss on his hand and continues to smile ever so brightly. The door opens and for the first time we meet Ezekiel's doctor. Scarlet let's go of Ezekiel's hand quickly and looks like a child who was just caught stealing from the cookie jar.
"Scarlet!" exclaims the doctor, "What have I told you? You need to keep your butt in the chair and let him heal."
Scarlet pouts and walks towards the window. "Whatever, doc. I can't help the way I feel."
"I've told you before, Scarlet. I'm not having this conversation with you anymore. The cops believe your story about it being an accident so just face it that no one is making you leave."
Scarlet sighs and mutters under her breath. "Damn right."
"What was that?" asks the doctor.
"Nothing." replies Scarlet.
The doctor sighs and walks to Ezekiel's bedside. She gently checks some of the bandages on his arms, chest, and facial area. She smiles slightly and looks towards Scarlet.
"If you promise to keep your hands to yourself, I will be back in a few days to remove the bandages. He's healing very well so it is time to remove the bandages."
Scarlet smiles. She excitedly jumps up and down like a little kid. "I promise, doc. I really do. I promise, I promise."
The doctor can't help but smile and she nods at Scarlet. The doctor then heads out of the room. Scarlet begins mumbling incoherently to herself and she gently climbs back into the bed with Ezekiel as the scene fades.
