—At a nearby Café—

Jeremy Winslov
(enters and orders a cappuccino)
He’s given a small sign to hold for a reserved table and sits down quietly, sipping his drink.

(eyes wander around the café)
At the counter, a man is working diligently—a tall, mysterious figure in a chef’s apron, carefully decorating pastries.

This is the Enigma—the one night stand Jeremy can’t forget.
The Enigma doesn’t notice Jeremy.
Jeremy’s heart tightens at the sight of him.

*There he is*

* Just like I remember—focused, distant, untouchable*

* Should I go to him?*

* Tell him everything? About the baby?*

* How am I supposed to tell him this?*
Without a word, Jeremy stands, leaving his cappuccino half-finished, and walks out of the café.
