Ellie

(Gabriel) If I told you how I really feel about you, you’d probably tell me I’m crazy.

(Ellie) Why?

(Gabriel) Because I think it’s crazy.

(Ellie) What’s crazy?  What are you talking about?  Tell me.

(Gabriel) Ellie, I’ve always had to close my eyes to imagine myself anywhere, but where I actually was.  You know, like some beautiful place you only see on t.v. or in books; a place where I never thought I would ever be.

(Ellie) What are you saying?

(Gabriel) What I’m saying is...[head down, hands in his pockets, he steps towards her.  Head rises.  He stares into her.] What I’m saying is…., I never have to close my eyes when I’m with you.     

  Her smile consumes him.  As she falls into him, peace begins to wrap around his heart.  Rising from her shoulder, silence is all he has to offer.  Neither his words nor his actions could ever do the love that he has for her justice.  In a world of chaos, he finds solace in her eyes.
