4400 Ariana Jackson 2nd Rev Network Draft 1/19/21 32.
LOGAN He’s probably just surprised -- SHANICE (paces, agitated) This is why I wanted to wait until I was on the partner track. I can’t even blame him, he’s right, what the hell am I thinking --
Logan takes her in his arms -- LOGAN
Hey. We didn’t plan this. But you also didn’t plan to fall in love with a white boy from farm country, and look how that turned out. SHANICE Now I’ll never marry Usher.
She jokes, but there’s worry on her face. This was not the plan, not what she expected her life to be. Logan senses it, soothes -- LOGAN We can do this. Together. This is the dream you’ve worked so hard for. Zaleski will see how committed you are. However many late nights or extra hours it takes, I will support you. We’re a team, Shanice. SHANICE (tearing up a bit) These hormones can’t with you... She snuggles into him, comforted, but the worry lingers... INT. MRS. GROVER'S HOUSE - GUEST ROOM - NIGHT Back with Shanice, now asleep with a wistful, troubled smile... INT. BOIS BLANC HOTEL - BATHROOM - NIGHT A fancy women’s room with powder area. LaDonna exits a stall, starts when she sees Claudette leaning against a sink, waiting -- LADONNA Damn . Lurk much? Can I help you? CLAUDETTE Yes. I want you to cut me. LaDonna gapes -- is this elaborate prank only getting weirder ?!
