Shane: You should go home. I can manage.

Molly shook her head.

Molly: I’m not leaving. You’re sick. How can I leave you now?

Shane: I know you still have work.

Molly: Shane, work comes after your wellbeing.

Shane: I’m not going anywhere. Go to work and I’ll be back here.

Molly hesitated.

Shane: Go. I’ll be fine.

Molly: Fine, I’ll bring you chicken noodle soup back tonight

Molly gave Shane a kiss on her forehead and left. Shane looked up at the ceiling.

Carmen: Babe.

Shane felt Carmen’s cool hand touch her cheek.

Shane: Carmen. I missed you.

Shane’s eyes filled with tears.

Carmen: Don’t cry. I’m here right next to you.

Shane reached out to touch Carmen’s face, but her eyes refocused and saw herself reaching into thin air.

Shane: Carmen, I need you.

In New York, Carmen had fallen asleep on the couch. She dreamed Shane wasn’t well. She wanted desperately to be there. Carmen woke up suddenly when the door closed and the bodyguard stood there.

Bodyguard: Miss, your father is asking whether you want to come down to dinner.

Carmen: I’ll be down in a sec.

Carmen sat in the empty room with her forehead on the glass.

Carmen: Shane.

It was dreary and rainy outside. Her breath fogged up the window. She drew a heart on it. Kissing the heart, she sent it through the wind and to Shane. It’s been over 3 months since she’s been able to see Shane and touch her soft skin. All the things the magazines wrote about her. The promiscuous period. The magazines now said she was getting famous from her modeling job and all thanks to Molly for getting her out of her slump. The last interview with Shane, Carmen read that she was going to buy a new house. And the reporter hinted about the chemistry that Molly and Shane were experiencing. The bodyguard came in again to see if she was eating. Carmen followed him outside.

Molly found Shane up and about around at night. She felt a lot better. Though the pain was still there in her side, she was fine. The fever had gone down. Molly made Shane sit while she happily spoon fed Shane chicken noodle soup. They had such a cute moment together. It warmed up the room. Molly was about to give Shane another spoonful when Shane caught Molly’s hand. She placed the spoon back down in the bowl. Tilting Molly’s chin up towards her, their eyes locked on each others. Shane moved closer and placed a soft kiss on Molly’s lips. It wasn’t a long kiss, but Molly felt so happy. This was the first sign of affection Shane showed her. They leaned their foreheads against each other.
