EVE
(screams)
Come back here!Eve paces the cemetery with arms shaking, completely
overwhelmed. She kicks a collection of flowers in front of a
headstone, then frantically starts to collect them. She goes
to her knees to rearrange the flowers and begins to sob
hysterically. Olivia approaches slowly.
OLIVIA
Eve.EVE
I don’t-- I didn’t-- She just--Olivia goes to her knees and hugs Eve.
OLIVIA
Eve. Eve. Shhhhh. Eve. You don’t
have to explain. Just let it out.EVE
What am I doing?OLIVIA
It’s completely fine. She’s your
mother. Though I didn’t think a
little sex scandal would get you so
bothered.EVE
What?OLIVIA
There’s no right way to grieve when
a parent dies. It’s just nice to
see you let it go a little bit. But
mom with a female student? Whoa.Eve sniffles and tries to gather her composure.
EVE
I’m fine. Just give me a minute.OLIVIA
Okay. Whatever you need. I’ll be
inside.Olivia starts to walk back to the church. Eve stands and
dusts the grass off of her knees.
