Love Me Like You'Re Losing Mind
Ch12: Vanishing Point
Elowen came down her room
Elowen
August, where did you go?
Elowen
You promised you’d stay. You said you'd be here when I woke up
Elowen
August, please—this isn’t funny.
She came out of the house to look for him
Elowen saw Mara, jay and Lucie
Elowen
Mara, Jay, Lucie have you guys seen August
Mara
Yeah I did!
He was in kinda hurry
He left before sunrise. Only his coat, his bag, and his typewriter
Jay
He seemed… lost. Hollow, like he’d forgotten who he was running from. Or who he was
Jay
Did something happen??
Elowen
No. No, no, no. He wouldn’t—he couldn’t.
she turned he back and walked towards the shop
Elowen
(whispers)
He promised…..
[Elowen sits in her workshop, blank-eyed. The dolls stare back at her.]
Lucie
Don’t do this to yourself.
Elowen
Fine. You want to leave me in silence? I’ll give you a chorus.
Elowen
One doll for every goodbye you never said.
Elowen
One for the laughter I forgot to capture.
Elowen
One for the touch I can’t remember anymore
Elowen
(sobbing)
And one…......
Elowen
For me. So I don’t forget who I am without you.
