Lady with the Dog where the Prince & the Vamp reside              

GRACE:
Hi Lu!

LU:
Good morning Grace.

GRACE:

It really is a good morning, yes it is. Do you now why?
I’ll bet you’ll never guess …

LU:
Shall I give you the odds?

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. 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?

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 not break up?

FIN:
Because - she’s it for me. She needed time to get 

comfortable with it. We elves have had to learn

to be patient with you humans.

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

FIN:
Sure is. I hear you have a big date tomorrow night.

RACOLO:
Yeah - so?

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

RACOLO:
I can tell you this - what we’ve been doing isn’t working at all.

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:
Are you done hating her?

RACOLO:
Yeah.

FIN:
Great. Tell her that or let her know 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 took a chance
and said it, wouldn’t this be a lonely world to live in.
