JOSIE
He's cute. Sexy even, in a kind of intense way. Hardly ever smiles. My guess is, there's a past there.
But, who doesn't have a past, right?
And he's kinda old-fashioned. Protective. The kind to put his coat round you on a cold day. I like that. I like him.
I could do more than like him. It's been a bad few years, and I know I'm damaged. But I'm healing.
And I'm ready to fall. Head over heels, body and soul, fall into love. And why not Scotty?
He thinks too much. Something's happened to him too. Something recent, and it's scarred him.
I have scars. Scars, I understand. I bet I could make him smile.
And I'm tempted. The way he looked at me, in that records room, all alone, I was tempted. Lord knows, I'd like to do nothing better than jump into Scotty Valens arms, where I'd be safe and warm and protected.
But I suddenly realised. The way he was looking at me. A hundred men have looked at me exactly like that.
But it was nothing like the way he looks at Lily Rush.
Compared to the way he looks at her, the way he looks at me means nothing.
When Scotty looks at Lily, his eyes burn for her.
