How do you do, my love?
Courtney is walking down the streets. She is frustrated because her business partners can't do a thing without her. That morning, she skimped on breakfast, opting to simply take a cup of coffee on the go. It spilled on her lap. She was tired, angry and hungry. She was in no mood to mess with any idiots.
Then she saw Duncan. He was a cop now. He does not recognize her. At first, neither did she. Then, suddenly, as they cross paths, her heart skips a bit. She recognizes him suddenly. Her heart starts beating rapidly. Her hands begin to sweat. She looks back a bit. Suddenly, it's like time stops for her.
Life is quite surprising
Never thought I'd see you here
I always leave town this time of year
Staying here is agonizing.
Everyday I follow this routine
I've never seen you down this road before
I'm so glad to see you once more
But it seems you have forgotten me.
Duncan keeps walking his way. Courtney sighs, trying to go her own way. However, she finds herself hesitating.
I thought I left you behind
You were just a footnote in my life
I thought I had forgotten you
How could I have been so blind?
How do you do, my love? How do you do?
That's the question I'd like to ask of you.
Are you happy with her? Tell me the truth
All that I want to know is if you are happy too.
Courtney stares at the road ahead of her. She needs to keep going. However…
It was such a small encounter
It seemed insignificant
To anyone who could have sauntered
Right into that funny scene.
But to me it had so much meaning
Time was no longer spinning
For to me, the Universe stopped moving
Just so I could speak to you.
How do you do, my love? How do you do?
That's the question I would like to ask you.
Are you happy, my love? Tell me the truth
Even if you chose her, I care about you, too.
Courtney bites her lip. She looks behind her. He seems to be contemplating something.
I cannot stand this silence!
A declaration I must make!
I truly must confess
Leaving you was my mistake!
Tears begin to form in her eyes, as memories of happier times gone by flood her mind. But, she has no time for such distractions. She has another life now. One she hates.
How do you do, my love? How do you do?
That is the question I'm dying to ask you.
Are you happy, my love? Tell me the truth.
I swear, I will never stop caring about you.
Courtney starts walking again. She has already lost ten seconds of daylight. Meanwhile, Duncan looks behind him. He swears that woman in the business suit seemed familiar to him…
The End.
