the old man jump a step backwards. The glass shatters into a spiderweb on impact and tiny
shards TINKLE to the street. Then everything goes quiet. The light is not turned back on.
The street falls into DARK SILENCE.

OLD MAN
(shakes head)
Not again...

FADE TO BLACK.

INT - ASHLEE AND JAMIE'S LOUNGE - MORNING
Bright wintery sunshine is streaming through the large front window. The cracked photo
frame is still lying beside Jamie on the floor. Jamie is sitting as far from her as he possibly
can - legs straight in front of him and back against the wall.
He is looking between Ashlee and the floor under his knees, unable to focus on either for
more than a few seconds. Jamie is WINCING slightly as he breathes, and he is wearing his
jacket again.
Ashlee is on her hands and knees and her long brown hair is covering her entire face and
head. Both are BREATHING HEAVILY.

JAMIE
I'm sorry

ASHLEE
You're always sorry.

She throws her head back up and rocks back on her haunches. The left side of her forehead
is covered in a nasty-looking deepening bruise, and her mouth and chin are covered in
blood.

ASHLEE (CONT'D)
But it doesn't make it any better.

JAMIE
If I could take it back...
(beat)
If I could make it so this had never happened...

ASHLEE
You would?
