Clara-THE STRANGER

ADRIAN: I don’t see a ring on your finger.

I love weddings. Just not for me.

ADRIAN: A bit hypocritical, isn’t it?

I just wouldn’t marry unless I met my one undeniable love. And I haven’t found that. So no ring.

ADRIAN: Undeniable love, huh?

*He stares at her for a moment. She lowers her glance.

ADRIAN: That’s the way it should be, isn’t it? Unfortunately, people don’t always have a choice.

What do you mean? Marriage has to be a choice. Otherwise, why do it?

ADRIAN: I wonder that myself.

You sound like a catch.

ADRIAN: You have no idea.

Well, whoever she is, tell her to let you off the hook.

*He turns the key, the engine starts.

Thanks.

*They shake hands. Electric. She turns to ask-

Wait-what’s your-

*but he’s already on his bike.

…name?

*she watches him disappear down the country road.

Ouf! No time to be distracted by a handsome stranger, Clara. No matter how charming he is.
