WEDNESDAY
Yes I want you to stop. This is ridiculous Enid. I wanted your help to determine if my visions were triggered by kissing. This is too far Enid, it's too much. This isn't what I asked for
She steps back and turns from Enid, Enid's face drops
ENID
Wednesday... it wasn't my intention to make you uncomfortable. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry...
She stays still. Letting Wednesday determine the next move
WEDNESDAY
It's ok. No need to apologise. I... just need... to go. I need to go now
She goes to open the door but Enid is still stood in front of it. She doesn't move
WEDNESDAY
I'm going to need you to move Enid
ENID
I will. Just first... Wednesday look at me...
Wednesday allows her full eye contact. She doesn't blink
ENID
Did any of that mean anything to you?
Wednesday remains quiet and unblinking. She stares at Enid. Her mouth is silent but her thoughts are loud
ENID
The way you kissed me... it took my breath away. I know it was just research to you but did you find something more than what you intended to find? Did it mean anything?
Wednesday swallows and leans towards the door handle
WEDNESDAY
I need some air
Enid doesn't move
ENID
No
WEDNESDAY
Excuse me?
Enid shifts slightly and swallows but stands her ground
ENID
No. You don't get to just kiss me like the world is ending and then not tell me how you feel. You asked to kiss me Wednesday, YOU kissed ME... and I agreed but something happened. For me. I felt things... and I think at the very least I need to know if you feel the same way. I need to know if you felt more than a kiss... that I was more than research... I need to know... that I... that you...
Wednesday grabs the door handle and starts to turn it, she opens the door by an inch
WEDNESDAY
Enid I'm not having this conversation right now...
Enid leans against the door closing it again
ENID
Yes we are
Wednesday glares at Enid
WEDNESDAY
Move.
ENID
Oh I'm sorry... did you mistake me for someone who is scared of you?
She shifts slightly so they are eye to eye
ENID
Not once have I ever felt intimidated by you Wednesday. Not once. You creep me out, for sure... *she smiles* and you've scared me to death when you've put yourself in danger or I haven't heard from you or you get stabbed or impaled... but feeling intimidated or concerned for myself?
ENID CONT-
Never. You've always made me feel safe. No one else in the school wanted to share a room with you, but me? I cry when I have to go home. Not because I hate San Francisco or because my mother is overbearing and my brothers are annoying... it's because I miss you. I count down the days till I am back by your side because I don't feel whole useless you're here. So don't waste your time trying to intimidate me Wednesday. You're my safe space. My home.
Wednesday blinks and swallows. Words evading her because her emotions are too overwhelming. She attempts to pull the door again but Enid pushes once more
ENID
And it doesn't make a difference... what you say. Whether you tell me that you feel things for me or whether I am merely a product of your research. You'll still be my person. You'll always be the place I run to when I'm afraid or in trouble. The first person I want to share good news with, to laugh with and to cry with... so whatever you're too scared to say. Don't be. You're my best friend Wednesday, I'm here for the long run. No matter what
WEDNESDAY
I'm not scared
ENID
Then why are you running?
Wednesday frowns at Enid intensely
WEDNESDAY
I'm not running
ENID
Then answer my question
She takes Wednesday's hand off of the door handle and holds in her hand
ENID
I'm here no matter what...
