Broken Frame- Introduction

A young lady walks into the hospital. She has short black hair and is wearing a devilish, red dress. She sits down in the lounge and reads a magazine. After a few minutes she decides to ask Bobbie a question.

Willow: Hello, I'm new here and I was looking for a friend of mine.  Do you happen to know where Florence Campbell's office is?

Bobbie: Actually she is a friend of mines to.  Her office is just down that hall the first door on the left.

Willow: Thank you...

Bobbie: Bobbie, Bobbie Spencer, nice to meet you.

Willow: Willow Lysher.

Bobbie: Nice to meet you Willow.

Willow: You too.  (She walks down the hall and knocks on Florence's door)

Florence: Come in, it's open. (Willow walks in)

Willow: Hello Florence.

Florence: (She takes off her glasses and closes a file she is reading.  She stands up.) What are you doing here?

Willow: What am I doing here? I think a better question is what are you doing here? I never pictured you as a small town lady.  I thought you liked the excitement and rush of the big city.

Florence: My family is here Willow.  We are all happy and I would like to keep it that way.

Willow: So would I.  Of course I can't forget what I know, what your hiding. How is Gia doing anyway?  Still up to no good.

Florence: My daughter is on her own, living her own life, and I am very proud of her.

Willow: Yeah, I mean I cracked open a fashion magazine and I saw good, old Gia.  (She shows Florence the magazine with the Deception ad inside) She really looks stunning in this picture.

Florence: What do you want Willow?

Willow: What's wrong Florence are you afraid I'll knock your innocent, or not so innocent baby girl off her high horse? Or maybe shake Marcus up a little.

Florence: If you hurt Gia and Marcus or tell them anything you will regret it.

Willow: I will. Well, what Florence, what are you going to do?  I am truly intrigued by this empty threat of yours.  I mean that might of worked when I was younger, but not now.  Besides Florence, do I look like the type to torture you by sticking around in this two bit town.  

Florence: Well I would hope not.

Willow: (She makes a wrong answer buzzing sound) Oh, sorry Florence wrong answer. You know you really are bad at game, and yet you have been playing one for almost twenty-two years.

Florence: I did what I did because I love my family.  Willow you are older now and you should be able to see why I did what I did.  It was never to hurt you.

Willow: You might want to rethink the never to in that sentence.  In fact take it out altogether.  

Florence: You're going to tell her a soon as you see her aren't you.

Willow: As soon as I see her.  No, no, no no Florence.  Now what would be the fun in that.  No, I think I'll wait until I make my presence known. (Willow looks back at the magazine) Beautiful just beautiful. (She tosses the magazine on Florence's desk.  Then she leaves)

(Florence picks up a picture on her desk and throws it at the door.  She goes over and finds it's a picture of her and Gia.  She picks it up and wipes the glass off.  A tear travels down her face.)

Florence: I never meant to hurt you Gia. Never.
