Part 5

Enid swallows

ENID

You want the truth? My totally unfiltered unedited opinion?

WEDNESDAY

Yes

ENID

That's brave. What if I tell you something you don't want to hear?

She raises her eyebrows in a questioning way, waiting for a response

WEDNESDAY

I'm a big girl Enid. I can take it

Her eyes don't blink but they flicker between Enid's two eyes. She'll be damned if she shows even the slightest bit of nervousness

ENID

You were adequate

Wednesday swallows and tries not to look bothered. Her eyes shift around the room but avoid Enid

WEDNESDAY

Adequate? Ok. Considering my lack of experience... I shall accept adequate

Enid grins and grabs Wednesday's hand, bringing her eyes back to her face so she can see her smile

ENID

Wednesday I'm messing with you...

Wednesdays eyes shoot towards Enid's to read her. She's laughing now and squeezing her hand. Wednesday looks at her confused

ENID

You were more than adequate. You were... incredible.

Wednesday swallows, reading every single one of Enid's movements delicately, scared to misread anything

WEDNESDAY

Incredible?

ENID

I don't want to inflate your ego. But yeah you're good. Really good. Like, that was the best kiss I've ever had...

Wednesday shifts a bit on the bed awkwardly

WEDNESDAY

But I don't really know what I'm doing. I was just following your lead

ENID

That's what made it so good. Everytime I tried to change the flow, you understood and followed. Like you were reading my mind. And it's not just about your lips and tongue, the way you held me and the... sounds... you made... perfection. To be honest with you, I really didn't want you to stop

Wednesday swallows and let's go of Enid's hand

WEDNESDAY

It was just research. I guess kissing and visions don't correlate after all. I definitely didn't have a vision...

Enid frowns slightly and looks down

ENID

I'm sorry I didn't give you a vision...

Wednesdays eyes widen and she grabs back at Enid's hand

WEDNESDAY

No no no, it's not your fault-

ENID

-maybe I'm not a good kisser

WEDNESDAY

NO! No... not at all... that's irrelevant... it shouldn't make a difference to my visions

Enid still looks defeated and Wednesday struggles to find words to fix it

WEDNESDAY

If my visions were based on the enjoyment of the kiss...

She pauses to make sure Enid looks up into her eyes

WEDNESDAY

Then my vision would have exploded out of the back of my head. Enid... having your lips on mine... it was... it was just...
