🌴 SCENE 1 — TURKS, EVENING
The sun is slowly going down over Turks. Music and laughter can still be heard from the main area where everyone is enjoying the trip. Anthony stands away from the crowd, looking toward the ocean. He seems distracted. After a few seconds, he sees Shayla walking toward a quiet hallway. Anthony watches her for a moment, then follows. Shayla enters a quiet room and sits down. A few seconds later, Anthony appears at the doorway.
💬 THE CONVERSATION
ANTHONY: Shayla, can I talk to you for a minute? Shayla looks up and notices the serious expression on his face. SHAYLA: Yeah. What’s going on? Anthony walks inside and sits across from her. For several seconds, neither of them says anything. SHAYLA: Anthony, you look like something is bothering you. Anthony takes a deep breath.
❤️ TALKING ABOUT THE PAST
ANTHONY: I’ve been thinking about everything that happened between us. Shayla becomes quiet. SHAYLA: Anthony, that’s the past. ANTHONY: I know. But sometimes the past doesn’t feel like the past. Shayla looks at him carefully. SHAYLA: What are you trying to say? Anthony tells her that the connection they once had never completely disappeared.
💭 OLD MEMORIES
Anthony tells Shayla that every time he is around her, old memories come back. He remembers the way they used to talk, the good times they shared and how close they once were. ANTHONY: I never completely forgot any of it. Shayla becomes emotional. SHAYLA: You think I did? Anthony admits that he does not know. Shayla tells him that she also never completely forgot him.
💞 ANOTHER CHANCE
Anthony asks Shayla if she ever thinks about what would have happened if they had handled things differently. Shayla admits that she thinks about it more than he knows. Anthony tells her that maybe they cannot change the past, but they can decide what happens next. He finally tells Shayla that maybe they should give their relationship another chance.
🫶 SHAYLA’S WARNING
Shayla becomes serious. She tells Anthony not to say something like that unless he really means it. Anthony says that he is serious. Shayla tells him that she cannot go through the same situation again. She says that if he wants another chance with her, then he has to make a real decision. Anthony understands that he cannot keep his feelings hidden forever.
🚪 D’NISHA ARRIVES
Outside the room, D’Nisha is walking through the hallway looking for Anthony. She hears voices coming from the room and slows down. The door is slightly open. She recognizes Anthony’s voice and stops near the doorway. She hears him say that he never completely forgot Shayla. Then Shayla says that she never completely forgot him either. D’Nisha becomes shocked and stays quietly outside.
😳 THE DOOR OPENS
D’Nisha hears Anthony talking about giving Shayla another chance. She takes a deep breath and finally opens the door. Anthony and Shayla immediately turn toward her. The room becomes completely silent. Anthony slowly stands up. ANTHONY: D’Nisha… She raises her hand and tells him not to explain yet. She says that she heard everything.
🔥 THE CONFRONTATION
D’Nisha asks Anthony why he was talking to Shayla about their past and another chance if Shayla is only his friend. Anthony tries to explain that he never wanted to hurt her. D’Nisha tells him that he could have talked to her instead of hiding inside a room with Shayla. Anthony realizes that there is no easy way out of the situation anymore.
💔 SHAYLA TELLS THE TRUTH
Shayla finally stands up and decides not to hide her feelings anymore. She tells D’Nisha that she still has feelings for Anthony. D’Nisha looks at Anthony and asks him if he feels the same way. Anthony admits that he still cares about Shayla. D’Nisha becomes even more upset because she realizes that this is not just a simple conversation between old friends.
⚡ THE BIG QUESTION
D’Nisha tells Anthony that she does not want excuses or a long speech. She wants the truth. She asks him directly if he still has feelings for Shayla. Anthony says yes. D’Nisha then asks if he has feelings for her too. Anthony also says yes. D’Nisha tells him that this is exactly the problem. She says he cannot keep two different relationships in his heart while expecting both women to wait for him.
🌊 THE TURKS DRAMA BEGINS
Anthony realizes that his past has finally collided with his present. D’Nisha tells him that he needs to decide what he really wants before asking her to stay. Shayla also tells Anthony that whatever decision he makes, he needs to be honest. Later, Anthony stands alone near the ocean, thinking about both women and everything that has happened. The peaceful Turks trip has completely changed. Chase has already noticed that something is wrong, and soon the entire group may learn about the secret conversation between Anthony and Shayla.
