Chapter 1
In balcony of Sophia’s room
Sophia Romano
I can’t believe you’re coming to the gala tonight!
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
You know I can’t resist a good party.
Sophia Romano
It’s not just a party; it’s a meeting of the families.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Right. But that just means I’ll be on high alert.
Sophia Romano
You should be careful. Marco will be watching.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
He always is. But I can handle him.
Sophia Romano
You’re not afraid of him?
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Not when it comes to you.
Sophia Romano
You mean it?
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
I’d do anything for you, Sophia.
Sophia Romano
Even if it means defying the families?
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Especially then.
Marco Romano
Sophia, who are you texting?
Sophia Romano
Just a friend.
Marco Romano
Keep your distance from the Morettis. We can’t trust them.
Sophia Romano
You don’t understand!
Marco Romano
I understand more than you think.
Leave Marco the balcony and be seated on sofa of her room, Sophia turn to phone again
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Your brother doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Sophia Romano
We can’t keep pretending we don’t have feelings for each other.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Your brother doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Sophia Romano
We can’t keep pretending we don’t have feelings for each other.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Then let’s meet tonight, away from all this.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
The old warehouse by the docks. Midnight.
Sophia Romano
I’ll be there.
Marco Romano
*From inside the room* you are sneaking out, aren’t you?
Sophia Romano
I’m just getting some air.
Marco Romano
Just remember that, Morrettis aren’t to be trusted
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
*over the text* You won’t regret this, Sophia.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
It’s time to choose our fate
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Always
Chapter 2
Sophia on the way to meet Luca *chatting with Luca*
Sophia Romano
I can’t believe I’m actually doing this.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
You’re brave, Sophia. You always have been.
Sophia Romano
Or reckless. Marco will kill me if he finds out.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
He doesn’t need to know. Just focus on us.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
I’ll be waiting by the docks.
Sophia Romano
I’m almost there. I hope no one sees me.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
I’ll keep watch. Just a few more minutes.
Sophia Romano
The moonlight makes the water look beautiful.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Just like you.
Sophia Romano
You always know how to flatter me.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
It’s easy when it’s true.
Sophia Romano
Okay, here goes nothing.
Sophia Romano
[Sophia enters the warehouse, the sound of her footsteps echoing in the dim light.]
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
[Luca steps out of the shadows, a soft smile on his face.] You made it.
Sophia Romano
I almost turned back.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
But you didn’t. That’s what matters.
Sophia Romano
What if someone sees us?
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
I locked the door. We’re safe for now.
Sophia Romano
Safe? In a place like this?
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
With you, I feel safe.
Sophia Romano
I’ve never felt this way before.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Neither have I.
Sophia Romano
What do we do now?
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
We talk. Just us. No family, no drama.
Sophia Romano
I like the sound of that.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Tell me your dreams, Sophia.
Sophia Romano
I dream of a life away from all of this. A quiet place.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
You deserve that.
Sophia Romano
What about you?
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
I dream of breaking free, too. But family ties are hard to sever.
Sophia Romano
Then we’ll find a way together.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
Together
Marco Romano
[Marco bursts through the door, eyes blazing.] What the hell are you doing here?!
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
[Luca steps protectively in front of Sophia.] You shouldn’t be here, Marco.
Marco Romano
I could say the same to you, Moretti.
Sophia Romano
Just listen—
Marco Romano
No, you listen! You’re risking everything for him.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
She’s not a pawn, Marco.
Marco Romano
[His voice hardens.] Stay away from my sister.
Sophia Romano
I can choose who I want to be with!
Marco Romano
Not in this life. You don’t understand the danger.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
You think I don’t know what’s at stake? I care about her.
Marco Romano
[He scoffs.] Care isn’t enough.
Sophia Romano
Marco, please.
Marco Romano
[His gaze softens for a brief moment.] You’re my sister, Sophia. I can’t lose you.
Sophia Romano
You won’t lose me.
Luca “The Ghost” Moretti
[He looks between them, tension thick in the air.] This isn’t over.
Marco Romano
You’re right. It’s just beginning.
