"I'm Sorry."

It's the last thing he remembers saying as his world went black with the shrill wail of the siren fading from his ears and the Ambulance technician reassuring him things would be alright...


Ambulance tech (to Greg) "...it's O.K., we're gonna get you to a hospital, just hang on..."
      (To driver): (urgently tentative) "Step on it... he don't look good... " (fade out)

As the young couple, Greg and Anna, walk hand in hand, they playfully tease each other, joking and tickling each other in a playful way that close lovers do. Occasionally, as they laugh and joke along, they stop briefly and kiss. A peck on the cheek, a gentle press of lips and a passionate embrace before continuing on in their playful way. After wandering farther down the trail they again stop to kiss and cuddle. First a small kiss, a little peck as a father to a child, then a longer kiss, one which draws a spark of passion. They soon are quickly drawn together in a full passionate embrace and covering each other in a flurry of kisses, deep and rich, over each others face and neck. (Scene: pan right, fade)

Soon, our amorous couple is playfully racing up the street, up the sidewalk to his house, there is a giddiness about their frantic pace. With her in the lead and he following closely behind they grasp, playfully at each other as they engage in a flirtatious game of touch football.


As they reach the house, they fall together against the door in a passionate embrace, and kiss. As Greg unlocks the door, he leans away, briefly, gazing deeply into Anna's bright hazel eyes and leans in again for another taste of her full sweet lips. As he does, she reaches down behind her and playfully opens the door, slipping back with it as it swings open, inward, away from him. As he leans in closer, and Anna steps away giggling, he stumbles into the house past her and rolls playfully, gently to the floor.


Looking up from his vantage point on the floor, Greg is delighted to see Anna smiling playfully, down at him. Slowly closing the door, she turns as she reaches to unbutton the top button of her blouse. In this instant he knew, as he watched her come playfully closer, that she was the one for him. The woman with whom he wants to share the rest of his life and all of eternity with.


As Anna drops gently to her knees beside him and begins playfully tickling him, Greg rises up, slightly, to a sit, toying with her, feigning playfully that he doesn't want to be tickled. Slowly rising to his knees, then standing, he gathers her up lovingly in his strong arms and, kissing her gently, they go up the stairs.
