10-Minute Script
INT. ELENA'S LOFT – NIGHT
ELENA (late 20s, poised, haunted) sips wine, staring out at the skyline.
Her phone buzzes again.
TEXT – DARIUS:
You blocked me in pixels, not in blood.
She deletes it. She doesn’t block the number.
FLASHBACK – INT. ART GALLERY – ONE YEAR AGO
DARIUS (30s, dangerously elegant) stands across the room, watching her.
DARIUS
You look like heartbreak molded you.
ELENA
Maybe I liked the shape.
INT. ELENA'S LOFT – BACK TO PRESENT
She opens a drawer—inside, a silver locket with his photo.
A sound at the door. She turns slowly.
DARIUS steps in—uninvited. Calm. Possessive.
DARIUS
You kept it.
ELENA
This doesn’t mean anything.
DARIUS
No. But I do.
He steps closer.
DARIUS
Say it. Say you’re still mine.
Silence. Then—
ELENA
You never left.
Their kiss is fire and poison.
FADE OUT.
