A teardrop rolls FREELY, down her left cheek.
DISSOLVE TO:
EXT. LEKKI-EPE EXPRESSWAY - NIGHT - FLASHBACK
Chioma is HEATEDLY arguing with a man. The man is behind the steering wheel, while Chioma is seated on the front passenger’s seat. The car is intentionally stirred off the expressway, and RAMMED into a wall by the driver.

CUT BACK TO:
INT. ROOM 7, WING C, ST. NICHOLAS HOSPITAL - CONTINUOUS
Chioma tries to get up from the bed in defense against the tormenting flashback lurking around her. Femi walks into the room through the doorway. Chioma groans in excruciating pain:
CHIOMA

FEMI

Femi walks further into the room, straight towards the bed, and helps Chioma to lay down on her back.
CHIOMA (softly)
Where am I?
Chioma lays back flat. Femi stands tall, over her.
FEMI
(with same softness)

Femi pauses for a short while before speaking again, using the time to appreciate the natural beauty of the agonizing lady.
FEMI (CONT’D) (unknowingly)
You are very beauti...
He swallows the rest of his unprofessional comment.
