(We see Destiny in the elevator, heading up to the third floor. She thinks that Devyn might have brought Kevin to her suite. She arrives there and the doors open. There she finds AJ racing down the opposite way. He stops to take a breath.) Destiny: AJ?
AJ: (looks up) What? Oh, aren’t you one of Devyn’s friends?
Destiny: (nods) I have been for a while, but this is the first time she has done anything like this.
AJ: She looks like she’s known for it, if ya know what I’m sayin.
Destiny: Well, she’s not. Look we’re both on the same mission here aren’t we?
AJ: I guess we are.
Destiny: Okay than lets just… look for them.
AJ: Fine. (sighs)
(Destiny and AJ walk down the corridor headed to the end of the hall in silence.)
Destiny: (shyly) You took the stairs?
AJ: Yep.
Destiny: Why didn’t you take the elevator?
AJ: Everyone else was taking the elevators. I wanted to be different.
Destiny: (shrugs) Okay… (Softly) Do you think that there could have been something to trigger Kevin’s decision?
AJ: (outright) He didn’t love her.
Destiny: Why did he marry her if he didn’t love her?
AJ: Maybe you should ask him. It’s not like I can get inside his mind for you.
Destiny: (lowers her head) I’m sorry… I just don’t understand why… (she looks up at him, suddenly with a new interest) What about you?
AJ: What about me?
Destiny: Are you in love?
AJ: (laughs awkwardly) I have no idea why I’m gonna tell you this, but Naomi isn’t the one for me. I think she knows it too, but chooses to deny it. I was planning to break it off in the restaurant.
Destiny: How do you know something like that? I mean… that she’s not the one?
AJ: I just have this feeling… haven’t you ever had that feeling? (shakes his head once Destiny knocks on Devyn’s suite door) Right now I have a feeling that we are headin into a dead end.
Destiny: (waiting, she calls) Devyn!
(There is no reply and she turns to AJ who shrugs)
AJ: (off guard he grabs her hand) Time to check the executive floor.
Destiny: (glances down at their locked hands in shock) Uh…
AJ: (yanks back) Oh man! (slaps his hand to his head) Lets just go.
(Destiny follows AJ to the elevator and they enter the first one that opens. They stay silent all the way to the executive floor. Once the doors open they both exit as if both know they are too close. AJ walks faster to stay ahead of Destiny.
AJ: Boyfriend?
Destiny: What?
AJ: Have one? Don’t have one? What’s the deal?
Destiny: Don’t… have one.
AJ: Okay now I can get to the better part of the question. Who are you?
Destiny: Destiny Shadows.
AJ: Good, now we’re getting somewhere. (turns to smile at Destiny)
Destiny: (blushes and smiles back) We should keep looking.
AJ: (voice drops to a low husk) Everyone is looking. I don’t think they’ll miss us.
Destiny: (reluctant, she tries to walk past AJ, he catches her) I have to find Devyn.
AJ: You can’t…
(Destiny stares at AJ in confusion, but the look slowly changes to longing and before she can escape it, they incline into a kiss. Destiny pulls herself back, trying to understand what happened) Destiny: What are we…
(AJ pulls her into a deeper, more hypnotizing kiss and she succumbs to the passion)
