The sun begins to disappear behind the palm trees.

Warm golden light spreads across the luxury resort. Music plays softly in the distance. Guests laugh near the pool.

But away from the crowd, the mood is completely different.

SHAYLA sits alone on a bench beneath a large palm tree. Her head is lowered. Tears roll silently down her cheeks.

She quickly wipes them away, hoping nobody notices.

But someone does.

WAYNE.

He is walking back toward the resort when he notices Shayla sitting alone. He slows down.

His expression changes. He can immediately tell something is wrong.

Shayla doesn’t respond. She keeps her face turned away.

Wayne sits beside her, leaving some space between them. His voice becomes softer.

Shayla looks away. Her eyes fill with tears again.

But neither of them notices someone watching from across the resort.

YAYA.

She has just stepped outside.

Her eyes immediately land on Wayne and Shayla.

She stops.

Her expression changes.

She sees Wayne sitting beside Shayla. She sees Shayla crying. She sees Wayne comforting her.

Yaya’s jealousy begins to rise.

She starts walking toward them. Her steps become faster.

Wayne finally notices Yaya.

Yaya doesn’t answer. She walks directly toward Shayla.

Yaya’s emotions take over.

Shayla turns to walk away.

But Yaya reaches out and pushes Shayla away from Wayne.

Shayla stumbles backward.

Yaya, overwhelmed by anger, lashes out and hits Shayla.

The moment passes almost instantly.

Silence.

Wayne freezes.

Shayla touches her face, stunned.

Yaya’s anger has turned into regret.

Shayla sits alone on a sofa. She looks exhausted.

The door opens.

Yaya slowly walks inside.
