25.
INT. ANNA'S HOUSE - ANNA’S BATHROOM - MOMENTS LATER Anna, rattled, opens the medicine cabinet, chock full of various prescription pill bottles. She swallows a few pills and shuts the medicine cabinet. She stares at her reflection for a beat too long. INT. ANNA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - LATER Anna sits in her chair reading her mystery novel, her wine next to her. She looks up from her book and glances across the street to see Neil, shirtless, riding his Peloton. Anna bites her bottom lip and forces herself to go back to her book. After a few beats trying to read, Anna looks back at Neil. God he’s sexy. Anna takes a sip of wine. Neil sits upright, pedaling slower now. It’s the cool-down phase. He’s wet with sweat. Suddenly he locks eyes with Anna. Embarrassed, Anna quickly looks down at her book. After a few beats, she sneaks another glance. Neil is still looking at her. ANNA (to self, barely moving her lips) What is happening? Neil gets off the bike and disappears somewhere into the house. ANNA (CONT'D) (to self) What just happened. Just then Anna sees Neil’s front door open. It’s Neil, still shirtless, walking straight across the street, his eyes never leaving hers. ANNA (CONT'D) (to self) Ohmigod, ohmigod, ohmigod... There’s a knock. Anna quickly tries to pull herself together and goes to the door. She takes a deep breath and opens it. Anna is tingling with anticipation. He stares at her hungrily, then... Neil passionately kisses Anna. They stumble inside her house, shutting the door behind them, kissing their way to her chair by the window.
