Premise
A mysterious young woman (Laken) writes a letter to Ted Capwell, placing a red
lipstick kiss on the outside of the envelope. Ted soon receives the letter in
the mail and it says, "4 o'clock. The gazebo. I can't wait. An old friend."
Ted is intrigued.
When Ted arrives at the gazebo, he finds a caged pet pigeon, along with a note. Ted reads it and smiles. Ted: "I'm back." Who else could it be, huh? Laken: Hello Ted. Ted turns around and sees his ex-girlfriend standing there. Ted: Laken. He looks at her, shocked. She just smiles at him. Laken: Aren't you going to say something? Are you just going to stand there? Ted: Yeah, hi! They share a warm hug. Laken: That's better! Ted: You look great. Laken: Oh, you approve? Ted: You bet. I'm sorry. You kinda surprised me. Laken: Surprised you? I guess so. Oh, and you're married now, too, aren't you? Ted: Yeah. Laken: Yeah, I heard all about it. Hayley's her name, right? Ted: Yeah. Hayley. Laken: That's great. That's terrific. You can have the pigeon as a wedding gift. You can send me notes with it like you used to. I tried to find one who could type and take dictations, but you know how hard they are to find these days. Ted: Yeah. So, where's your husband? Laken: My husband? Ted: Yeah. Last time we talked to you, you said you were getting married. Laken: Oh, the ski bum. Right. That didn't actually work out. Ted: Oh, I'm sorry about that. Laken: Don't be. I'm not. After we split up, I went to New York for a while, lived with my mom. I guess I was there for about six months or so. Have you ever been to New York? Ted: A long time ago. Just for a little while. Laken: It's amazing how a city can take a person and really change them. Make them a survivor when they don't even feel like surviving. I really loved it there. But spring came and I wanted to see my daddy. Ted: Oh, so you're just going to be visiting for a little while? Laken: Did I say that? Ted: No, I just assumed... Laken: If I'm needed here, I'll stay. So I just have to decide how much my daddy needs me. Ted: Well good. I'm glad you came by. Laken: I haven't seen anybody else yet. Not even my father. I wanted to tell you first that I was back in town. I can't wait to meet your wife! I bet she's really something. Ted: She is. She's a terrific girl. Laken: You look pretty terrific too. Ted: Thank you. Laken: We have to get together soon. With Hayley, of course. She gives him a kiss on the cheek and they say bye bye. |
