GRACE:
Hi Lu!

LU:
Good morning Grace.

GRACE:

It really is a good morning, yes it is. Do you now why?
No, and I bet you’ll never guess either …

LU:
Oh, I believe I would. Shall I give you the odds on it?

GRACE:
No, it’s too early in the morning for math. Don’t go spoiling
my day with numbers. Yuck. 

GRACE:
… Oh look- here she is …

GRACE:
… Daprima, I didn’t tell Lu yet, no I didn’t - and do you know why?
Because I can keep a secret, yes I can, but I did hint a little …

DAPRIMA:
I hope you haven’t been annoying Lu.

LU:
Not at all.

GRACE:
I don’t annoy people, well maybe Mez, but then he gets
annoyed easily so it’s not really my fault when it happens.

LU:
Grace, your logic dazzles me.

GRACE:
Oh thank you, thank you very much. 

LU:
You’re welcome. Now, are you going to tell me
this exciting news of yours, that I’ll never guess?

GRACE:
Can I tell her, can I? 

DAPRIMA:
I think you better before you burst.

GRACE:
Daprima’s engaged, yes she is! It happened last night.
She got a ring and everything. Go on and show her. 

DAPRIMA:
Ta-dah.

LU:
Oh how beautiful. Congratulations. I’m so happy for you.

Later in the living room …

RACOLO:
… I hear you and Daprima made it official. Congrats.

FIN:
Thanks. I guess you could say the fourth time’s the charm.

RACOLO:
Fourth - you mean you proposed before and she turned
you down? How did you two not break up after that?

FIN:
Mainly because - she’s it for me, has been all along. She just
needed some time to get comfortable with that. You know, we
elves have had to learn to be more patient with you humans.

RACOLO:
Is that your way of turning the conversation to Es and me?

FIN:
If you’d like. I hear you two have a big date tomorrow night.

RACOLO:
Yeah - so?

FIN:
So, she’s your son’s mother - she’s always going to be a part of
your life. Isn’t it time you figured out a way to really make it work?

RACOLO:
I know one thing for sure - what we’ve been doing isn’t working.

FIN:
I’m glad you realize that.

RACOLO:
Don’t look so smug. Everyone around here thinks
they know more about us than we do.

FIN:
OK. Let’s say I don’t know anything.
You tell me, really tell me about Es.

RACOLO:
… She’s it for me. It’s always been her. Even
when I hated her, it was still her.

FIN:
And are you done hating her?

RACOLO:
Yeah.

FIN:
Great. Tell her that or at least let her know that you’re not just
tolerating her, because you share a son.

RACOLO:
… It’s not that easy for me to say things like  …

FIN:
It’s not easy for anyone - but if no one ever took a chance
and said them, wouldn’t this be a cold and lonely world to live in.
