Harper

Abby! Hey, can we just talk for a second?

Abby

No, I have to go. I can't. I can't do this for you anymore. But merry Christmas! Enjoy your family and enjoy Connor.

Harper

What? No! I don't want him! I don't want Connor, I want you!

Abby

Then what was that?

Harper

I don't know! Why are you huddled in a corner with Riley?

Abby

None of this has anything to do with Riley! This is all happening because of you, Harper. You not telling your parents about us is a choice that you made!

Harper

It is not that simple!

Abby

Do you know how painful it's been to watch the person that I love choose to hide me?

Harper

I am not hiding you! I am hiding me! Okay? Our entire life we have been expected to be these perfect, golden children. Love in our house wasn't something we just got for free. It is something that we competed for and if we veered off their course, we lost it. I know it's messed up! Okay, I get it. But they're my parents! And I'm scared that if I tell them who I really am then I will lose them. And I know that if I don't tell them, I will lose you. I don't want to lose you!

Abby

Come here. Hey, come here.

Harper

No, I don’t want to lose you.

Abby

No, no. Look at me. Come here. Look at me. It’s okay.

Harper

I don’t want to lose you.

Abby

You are not.
