Re: Call: Steph/Selina
When that happens, you don't push. You don't push the person. Eddie knows that about me, and I know that about him. You're just there to listen, or to let them go, or do whatever. Support, it's all about support. [Sadly.] That's what you need, Selina, and I know it's hard to admit that. It's-it's okay to feel lost in it. The doctor said that happens. Stuff like what's going on with us? That happens, getting lost and feeling lost and alone and like no one understands. But? I understand, Selina, and I swear you can lean on me. [It gets a little frantic at the end, but it's there. She's quiet, so the nurses who are passing by don't do anything. Steph's okay, for now. She's breathing hard, and she might be a little dizzy, but she's okay. On the floor, with one hand pressed to her eyes.] They- It's a process. A long and hard process, and honestly? [A voice crack.] I just want it all to be over already.
[But a smile at that.] I only get one wedding. You have to come. [A laugh. Teasing.] You haven't even seen Stephanie 2.0. I could be missing my face for all you know. But I don't think I will either. Be able to stop smiling, that is. [Rubbing her face.] I wish there was a way to fix it. But [A shaky sigh.] I think it's more about fixing ourselves. Fixing all the pieces before we're whole again.
