What if there is no answer? What if it’s unclear how I feel about you? What if?
EMEKA
But it isn’t. Is it?
CHIOMA
But it isn’t what?
Chioma stalls, trying to dodge the question speeding her way.
EMEKA
It isn’t unclear how you feel about me. Is it?
CHIOMA (whispers)
I... love... you.
EMEKA
What was that?
Chioma ducks in embarrassment.
CHIOMA
What was what?
EMEKA
You said something just now. What was it?
CHIOMA
Did you hear anything?
Chioma blushes, secretly wishing Emeka didn’t hear her, to save her from the embarrassment of saying those three words first.
EMEKA
You said you love me.
CHIOMA (shakes her head)
So you heard me?
EMEKA
Yeah I heard you whisper.
CHIOMA
So why are you asking me what I said?
Emeka smiles as he buttons up his beach shirt.
CHIOMA (CONT’D)
Why are you smiling?
