At the docks.......
(Lucky and Liz stay in each other's arms for a long time, the kiss leaves both of them shaken, trembled, neither want to break off the embrace, or the sound of their hearts beating together.)
Liz: ( still in Lucky's arms) Pinch me.
Lucky: ( a little dazed ) Wha.....What?
Liz: Pinch me so I'll know if this is just my imagination.....wait! If it is just my imagination, then don't pinch me......
Lucky: ( chuckles lightly) I know what you mean. I didn't think this was going to happen, and now......( finally pulls away so he can look at Liz) I was wrong earlier tonight.....
Liz: ( starts to panic ) Oh, God! I was right! This was not what you wanted......
Lucky: ( Pulls her back as she starts to turn away ) Elizabeth...ELIZABETH!! ( She looks at him) I was wrong earlier when I said that the vision of you coming down that stairs was the most beautiful one I have ever seen. This...( strokes her cheek with one hand) is......( Looks at her tenderly, lightly kisses her on the lips)
Liz: ( smiles ) Lucky......this is the most perfect night of my life.....I will never forget this......( suddenly thinks of something) Oh, Lucky! You know what this means? Now Valentine's Day would never just be the day that I was raped! I will be thinking of this night when I think of Valentine's Day for the rest of my life! I have a different memory of this day now.........
Lucky: I am sorry I can't make that night completely go away.....I would if I have the power.....
Liz: ( puts her hands on Lucky's mouth ) Lucky, nobody can. ( smiles ) But I am OK with that now. I am really getting my life back, it feels good to know that I had came back from that dark place, and had become stronger.....Murty has no hold on me now. I am not letting him affect my life like he did those months.....And it's all because of you.
Lucky: Elizabeth, it's you. You came back from that dark place on your own, I was just there waiting.
Liz: Lucky, you were holding the candles so I can see that there is a better...much better place than that dark corner.
Lucky: ( Holds her hands) And I am so glad that you are here....We are here.....
Liz: ( Looks around the dock) This place has so much of our memory for the past year......what would we have done without that bench? ( laughs lightly )
Lucky: ( laughs ) This has certainly been our place....remember the box car?
Liz: Remember?! How could I forget it! I slaved for you so you could have some nice furniture and a TV!
Lucky: ( Laughingly ) Oh, don't forget the kitchen! A lot of gourmet came out of that!!
Liz: Oh, yeah, like your famous peanut butter banana sandwiches!
Lucky: Hey, those were world class sandwiches!
Liz: ( laughs ) OK, OK, I know, I know......
Lucky: ( looking serious all of a sudden ) I never thanked you for getting me out of that box car. You helped me see that my parents weren't the horrible people that I thought they were. That they had gone through fire to get to where they were, loving each other against all odds. Most importantly, they had loved me unconditionally....it was something I had to learn to do, and I didn't want to. You made me see that.
Liz: Well, I just didn't want you to lose your family. And I didn't want to see you in pain.....there was so much of that around both of us.......
Lucky: ( smiling ) But that's all gonna change from now on....( pulls her closer) because we are here now.....( they kiss...then lost in each other's arms)
Man's voice: OK, I really hate to break up this beautiful moment, but it doesn't seem like you guys are going to break up soon if no one interferes, and I am getting tired and a little embarrassed...( a man walks out of a dark corner a few feet away behind Liz, he is about 19 or 20 years old, 6 feet tall, brown hair, brown eyes )
Lucky: ( holds on to Liz's hand and pull her by his side ) Who are you? What are you doing here??
Man: Last time I check this was a public place, anyone.....( shifts his gaze on Liz, his eyes get big) SABRINA!!!!
( The man starts to walk toward Liz, Lucky pushes Liz back and stands in front of her, the man keeps stare at Liz, Liz peeks out from behind Lucky's back, all three of them are not moving. )
TO Be continued..........
