MEZ:

…I’m not sure this is a good idea. Maybe we can wait.

ESMODONTI:

No it can’t. The sooner you and Cammeo talk things out, 

the happier everyone's gonna be. I promise.

ESMODONTI:

... Now you get your butt in there.

SHOVE

MEZ:

Uh ... hi Cammeo ...

CAMMEO:

Hullo Mez ...

MEZ:

Is it OK if I come in? I mean -  if you want me to, I’ll leave.

CAMMEO:

No, please stay.

MEZ:

Uh ... How’ve you been?

CAMMEO:

Fine. And you?

MEZ:

Pretty good.

MEZ:

sigh

Look Cammeo, I really want to talk to you ...

CAMMEO:

Would you like to sit down here, next to me?

MEZ:

You look ... really good.

CAMMEO:
blushing

Thank you. So do you. You wanted to talk to me.

MEZ:

Yeah, I just can’t seem to figure out where to start.

Man this is hard ...

CAMMEO:

Mez I’m so sorry.

MEZ:

You’re sorry? What for? I’m the one who screwed up.

You don’t have anything to be sorry about.

CAMMEO:

Oh but I do. You tried to tell me how ... preoccupied I was 

and I didn't listen. Then after ... after you and Esmodonti ... 

MEZ:

You can’t take the blame, I won’t let you. Don’t try to make this

easy on me. I’m the one who cheated and ... I’m so sorry… I 

understand if you can’t forgive me. Hell - I can’t forgiven me, but I

just ... I miss you so much. I don't want to be without you.

MEZ:

I’m really really sorry. I feel so bad about ... everything.

CAMMEO:

I know you do, but ...

CAMMEO:

… Mez we never spoke about it before but … you and Es

... what I mean to say is ... have there been others?

MEZ:

Uh no. Only her.

CAMMEO:

I only wish you could've waited and let it be me.

MEZ:

I’m really sorry Cammeo. I wish that too.

CAMMEO:

Do you think it can be like it was before?

MEZ:

I really want that. I’ve done nothing but think about 

you all summer. I need you so much and ...

CAMMEO:

You need me. Oh Mez, you don’t know what that means to me.

MEZ:

Does this mean you’re giving me a second chance?

CAMMEO:

Only if you kiss me straight away.

Meanwhile in the hallway ...

ESMODONTI:

Whatcha doin’ Blondie?

KARANTHIR:

Shhh, keep your voice down.

ESMODONTI:

Are you spying on Mez and Cammeo? Oh you wicked, wicked boy.

KARANTHIR:

Honestly Es, it's not as if I went out of my way to be a witness to this. I just 

happened to walking by and there they were. I didn't want to walk in

and interrupt things. So what could I do?

ESMODONTI:

Cut to the chase - are they back together or not?

KARANTHIR:

Es you are truly a woman after my own heart. 

They've kissed and made up.

ESMODONTI:

That’s fab! Let's you and me celebrate. Ya know Blondie, since you 

hooked up with the prince, I haven't enjoyed a certain one-eyed 

snake. How’s he doin’ in there?

KARANTHIR:

So sorry for neglecting you Es love. I didn’t mean to keep him

from you. It’s time I made it up to you.

ESMODONTI:

I got a roomie now so privacy's an issue, but there’s always the closet.

KARANTHIR;

Ah the closet. Why I just mentioned it to Jesse.

ESMODONTI:

Jesse - who’s that?

KARANTHIR:

The new lad, shares Mez’s room. Es darling, I can’t believe you didn’t 

notice him. In my opinion, he could honestly benefit from your ... area 

of expertise. That boy’s wound so tight, he may just implode.

ESMODONTI:

Another hottie in the house? Oh that Jesse - he must Tia’s boyfriend. He’s all she talks about. Can't believe I missed him. I must be losing my touch. Tell me all about him.

KARANTHIR:

Love to.

ESMODONTI:

C'mon Blondie, there's a closet just waiting for us.

Back in the sitting room …

CAMMEO:

I really missed you Mez. You were gone such a long time.

MEZ:

I just had to get out of here. I picked up a summer job while

I was there, so I was able to make some money.

CAMMEO:

That's wonderful ...

GASP!

MEZ:

What the matter?

CAMMEO:

Did … did you just see that?

MEZ:

See what?

CAMMEO:

But you didn't just notice ...

MEZ:
Notice what?

CAMMEO;

Nothing. I thought I saw ... silly me.

It must've been the light or something.

MEZ:

Cammeo you're trembling.

CAMMEO:

Will you hold me, for a little while?

MEZ:

For as long as you’ll let me.
