Maid: Look-out there! Was it him?
Bride: It was him.
...
Maid: Do you have any idea why Leonardo would be at your window!?
Bride: Uhhh
Maid: What! Give me a complete answer, my dear! (Grabs at Bride's dress)
Bride: Stop! Get away! (Grabs her dress and yanks it out of Maid's hand)
Maid: (Furious)You idiot! Why the heck is Leonardo at your window! He is a married man! And you are a soon to be wife! Does your bridegroom know about this!
Bride: No! But it's not what you think!
Maid: (Sarcastically) Oh really? hm.
Bride: (Matter of fact) Yes. Really. (Turns her back to maid and starts to walk away)
Maid: You get over here and tell me why Leonardo is here! If he is not here for you, i'll send him away myself.
(pause)
Bride: Leonardo.
Maid: Yes'm
Bride: He is here because-
Maid: Spit it out already!
Bride: Leonardo is here because he wants me back.
Maid: What?
Bride: I had him, oh, it was awhile ago. A long while ago. Before mama passed.
Maid: Does he not know you are to get married thursday?
Bride: I told him.
Maid: And his wife! Oh his poor wife, and his baby!
Bride: I know, i shoo him away every time he comes. But he never fails to come back night after night.
Maid: You never thought to tell me of this! And why did you deny seeing a horse!
Bride: I didn't want any problematic events that anyone had to deal with. You and daddy are too dear for me to have you get caught up in this. This is my problem. I'll fix it.
Maid: You cannot do this alone, sweetie. He isn't going to stop coming. You know how persistent men can be. Look at your father!
Bride: But, Maid! (Grabs for her arm and she runs toward the door)
Maid: You cannot stop me, i'm going to talk to Leonardo's wife.
(Maid runs out the door and Bride runs after. Leonardo hears chaos and confusion overcomes him until he finally realizes what going on and races his horse to catch up).
