Make Every Moment Count

The scene commences with Patrick (Ryan McLane) ushering Felicia (Lulu Chu) into a sleeping chamber. Felicia appears strained, yet exhales in relief once they are secluded in the room with the door securely shut behind them. She conveys her gratitude to Patrick for saving her from the mounting tension in the dwelling. Felicia's sole caregiver recently passed away. Patrick, a close friend of the family, is providing her with support during this challenging period. As Patrick consoles Felicia, reassuring her that she's not solitary in this ordeal, Felicia begins to gaze at him with affection. Patrick feels a bit self-conscious under her loving stare. He attempts to depart, wishing to grant Felicia some tranquility and solitude, but Felicia seizes his arm, pleading him to stay. She doesn't desire to be alone presently. Patrick settles and resides with Felicia, assuring her that he'll keep her company for a while. Felicia appears relieved and content, inching slightly closer to him and hesitantly resting her cranium on his shoulder. It seems harmless enough, like she just craves human proximity, and Patrick silently permits it. Patrick reminisces about pleasant memories of Felicia's parent. There are indications from Felicia that her relationship with him wasn't stellar. There are also hints of her making advances on Patrick as she strokes Patrick's thigh, letting her palm stray a bit. Patrick begins to acknowledge her increased touch and feels uneasy but remains silent and courteous, not wishing to create a fuss. When he attempts to remove himself, and starts to rise to exit, Felicia momentarily panics, as if swiftly concocting a strategy on the spot. She suddenly embraces him firmly. She pretends to have a minor meltdown, requesting him to spend the night with her since it's her first night in the home alone. As Felicia makes the plea, she nibbles her lower lip slightly while caressing him even more intensely. Patrick grows increasingly discomforted, insisting that he can't stay because it's unsuitable. He proposes she finds someone else to keep her company instead. Felicia inadvertently comes on a bit too assertively, growing frantic as she insists that it 'must be YOU!!' CUT TO TITLE Patrick is taken aback, still endeavoring to establish limits, though Felicia persists even more vigorously. Felicia eerily discloses that she's been infatuated with him for YEARS. Being next-door neighbors made it convenient for her to OBSERVE him when he was laboring in the yard. Patrick is astounded, speechless. Felicia grows even more desirous as she elaborates about watching him use his swimming pool. She goes into exquisite detail about how attractive he is when he's semi-nude and damp... and how much she appreciates the bulge in his swimming shorts. It's only a matter of time before Patrick succumbs to temptation, but can he manage the repercussions of his actions?
