Too late. He’s doing it. Gabby gasps, and then she’s over his head! He’s huge and strong and he is not going to drop her. IN THE AUDIENCE: Everyone gasps. A few people tear up. Nick is sitting next to Wayne and Monica now. Reggie pulls Gabby down gently placing her on her feet and THE ROOM EXPLODES IN APPLAUSE! Gabby’s so overcome. She got to be THAT girl. Tears come to her eyes. She’s embarrassed, tries to hide them but Reggie notices, leans in. REGGIE What? What’s this? GABBY Nothing. I... that was great. Thank you. Thank you for that. Reggie wipes a tear off her face, a little bemused but so sweet. Can you blame Gabby for falling in love with him? It’s so goddam obvious. NICK There it is. That’s the story. WAYNE What? BACK WITH GABBY AND REGGIE: They are smiling at each other, buzzed from their performance. Gabby has been warned by Nick but she’s forgotten all about that now. NICK (O.S.)
She’s gonna fall in love with him and he’s gonna break her heart.
