Rough first draft of a few scenes for another project I'm currently working on. Everything is subject to change with future drafts.

INT. BEDROOM - NIGHT

VITA stands somberly facing away from her sleeping lover- JAMES.

(In tears) Scrolling through his text messages.

She (dropping the phone) walks over to her side of the bed. 

She then (cautiously) grabs the pistol from inside the dresser, then walks back over to the opposite side of the bed where JAMES is sleeping.

Still in tears, VITA stares down at JAMES for a short moment.
She pulls the hammer of the gun back. First aiming at her head then in hesitation quickly towards James.

Flashback to:

EXT. BEACH - MID-DAY

VITA and JAMES sitting on the sand... eating ice cream cones.

JAMES

You know why I brought you here right?

VITA

Clearly you think I'm in need of a tan. That, or you were just dying to see me in a bathing suit.

JAMES

You are kind of pale.

Vita playfully slaps JAMES on the shoulder:

JAMES

Ouch! (laughing)

VITA

Dick!

JAMES

I kid, I kid. Relax!

Both bask for a moment in silence at an amazing view of the sun. James then reaches over and grabs a small box and hands it towards Vita

JAMES

  Hey.

Vita glances at the box. (Looking surprised)

VITA

      What is that?

JAMES

You didn't think I forgot, did you?

It's your anniversary gift.

Vita hesitates as she takes and opens the box.

VITA

James... You really shouldn't-

JAMES

-"Shouldn't have" what?

(James gently grabs her hand)

JAMES

Vita, you're only thing in my life right now that makes sense. 

You're important to me, and I don't know what I would do without you.

So... just accept it... okay?

Vita turns red as she stares into his eyes.

VITA

     ...You're perfect

They both share a kiss and hold each other for a brief moment.

JAMES

You could still use a tan though. 

(Both laugh)

VITA

DICK!

Back to present time

EXT. OUTSIDE THE HOUSE - NIGHT

We [Fade into] a distraught Vita sitting outside smoking a cigarette, pistol laying a few inches away from her.

After a short moment of her staring out in space, she turns her head casually towards the gun.
