Chapter 3
Peter's Office - late morning
Sophie knocks on the door and opens it.
Sophie: Peter, Shelby's mother's here to see you.
Peter: Ok, let her in.
(She walks in)
Peter: Take a seat.
Shelby's mother: (sitting down) Thank you; I've come to take Shelby home for a week or two.
Peter: ah, ok, any particular reason?
S.M: Yes actually (beaming) I'm engaged (Peter looks at her shocked) and I'd like Shelby to meet him before we get married.
Peter: Ok, why don't we find Shelby now and tell her the, uh, good news.

Lodge
Daisy walks into the lodge bored, Ezra sees her and runs up, Daisy sighs.
Daisy: Hi Ezra
Ezra: Hi, what are you up to?
Daisy: Nothing. (They sit down)
Ezra: I was talking to Peter right
Daisy: Uhuh (she looks around the lodge not listening to Ezra, she sees Shelby all by herself. Ezra is still talking.)
Ezra: So I thought, why not, just seize the day.
Daisy: Really, anyway, I have to talk to Shelby. (She stands up.)
Ezra: (standing up) Daisy
Daisy: Yeh (turning around)
(Ezra kisses her, after a moment of shock Daisy pushes him off.)
Daisy: What are you doing!
Ezra: (smile fading) Seizing the day
Daisy: I told you! I just want to be friends! (People are staring at them, Daisy lowers her voice) Sorry. (She walks out)
*************************************************************
Shelby is sitting in a chair reading; Scott walks in and sits besides her.
Scott: Hey.
Shelby: (still reading) Hi.
Scott: Shelby, (she looks up) I love you. (wanting to see her reaction. She smiles at him and goes back to reading.) I don't get you. (Getting annoyed)
Shelby: What's there to get?
Scott: You have never once told me that you love me. (She doesn't say anything) What's the matter?
Shelby: Nothing.
Scott: Do you want to break up?
Shelby: No!
Scott: Then what's wrong.
Shelby: I don't know, I don't know if I love you, alright.
Scott: Do you want to break up?
Shelby: No, I still like you, I just don't know if I love you yet.
Scott: Ok. (A woman walk in with Peter) Isn't that your mum?
Shelby: Yeh (standing up surprised) (to her mum) What's happened?
S.M: I'm engaged. (Shelby sits downed shocked.)
Shelby: (Quietly) Why
S.M: (confused) Because I'm in love. (Shelby, standing back up, takes Scott's hand.) I want you to meet him before the wedding, so I thought why not this week; I've cancelled all my meetings so it'll be just you, me and your soon to be stepfather, oh and his son.
Shelby: (Still in shock) What about Jess?
S.M: She's on a school camp.
Shelby: (speechless) Um, ok, when do I leave?
S.M: Well I'm here now, so why don't you start packing.
Shelby: (Not wanting to go) Ok. (She starts to walk off to the dorm, Scott doesn't know whether to follow or not. She turns around) Scott, you coming?
Scott: Yeh.
