[Lights come up on a man, Thomas. He sits on a couch with a laptop in his lap. He hums a little and types away. A Woman, Alissa, enters and comes up behind him and sets her chin on his head. He stops humming and tries to look at her. He laughs when He can't]
ALISSA:
What are you writing?
THOMAS:
A story..
ALISSA:
About what?
THOMAS:
About us.
ALISSA:
What about us?
[Thomas shrugs. Alissa looks at him for a moment and then grabs the laptop. He lets her take it. She climbs over the back of the couch and settles down cross legged next to him. She reads from the computer.]
ALISSA:
I love you. I told her. She smiled at me happily. I don't think that she knew how much I really need her.
[Alissa looks at Thomas questioningly. He nods encouragingly she continues.]
ALISSA:
So today is the day that I am going to show her how much I need her. I am going to ask her hand in marriage. Alissa.....[Choking up] will you marry....me?
[Alissa bursts into tears and Thomas takes her in his arms. There is a beat and then he pulls away from her enough to look in her face.]
THOMAS:
Well, what do you say?
ALISSA:
Y-Yes!
THOMAS:
I love you, 'Lissa.
ALISSA:
I love you. I love you too.
[Lights fade as Thomas pulls a ring out of his pocket and puts it on her finger. Alissa looks at it with a hand over her mouth and they embrace.]
