"Things I'll Never Say"

Guy and Lady slow dance at a wedding. There’s a spotlight on the two as they dance, the rest of the stage is dark, except for a dim light on a wedding table or DJ station, something that denotes a reception.

Note: When Guy and Lady have a conversation they face one another and talk to each other. When either is thinking to themselves they’re leaning on their partner and looking toward the audience.

Our characters are staring at one another.

Guy: I’m glad you invited me to your friend’s wedding.

Lady: She’s my best friend! I’m glad you’re having a good time “‘cause I’m feeling nervous.”

Guy: You never have to be nervous around me. We’ve been together for a long time now. What is it?

Lady: I’m just “trying to be so perfect” tonight because “I know you’re worth it.”

Guy: “You’re worth it!” This might be the first wedding we’re at together, but it definitely won’t be the last.

Lady smiles and pulls him in closer. She puts her head on his chest and addresses the audience. This is an inner monologue and Guy doesn’t hear what Lady is saying.

Lady: I don’t know why this is so hard for me. We have been together for a long time and “if I could say what I want to say, I’d say I want to blow you away.” I would want to “be with you every night” instead of every few and only when we can.

(Looking at Guy and addressing him)

Lady: “Am I squeezing you too tight?”

Guy: No. You couldn’t squeeze me that tightly. It’s impossible!

Lady: Don’t think you can escape this grasp!

Lady goes back to leaning on Guy and monologuing.

Lady: How long do I have to wait before I have to ask? “If I could say what I want to see” it would be for him “go down on one knee.” Every day I want would shout “Marry me today!” It would be a little inappropriate at my best friend's wedding. I get that. “Guess, I’m wishing my life away with these things I’ll never say.”

Guy lifts Lady’s chin.

Guy: What are you thinking about?

Lady: Nothing really.

Guy: I don’t believe that!

Lady: It won’t “do me any good” to say it right now.

Guy: Well, you know what I’ve been thinking about today?

Lady: What?

Guy: Us. Getting married.

Lady: Really!?

Guy: I cleared it with your Bestie earlier.

Lady: Cleared what?

Guy gets down on on knee. Lady nods enthusiastically.

Lights out.
