Scene Six

JOE stands near the window.

PEREGRINE sits in the same position on the couch. She begins to fidget, squirm, and inch toward the window.

JOE Yeah. Yeah, I lied. You saw it, didn’t you? You saw it all, and that was the end of that. Game over.

JOE walks up to the window.

JOE You’re everywhere. Everywhere I remember and places I don’t, and maybe I’m making them up, but I don’t think I am. You are two steps ahead and casting a blue shadow. Everywhere, all the time, but then you were just here.

JOE begins to gently scratch at the window.

JOE I was supposed to see you coming. I was ready for that. Had it all sorted Peregrine. But you were just here, like magic you were just here. And you look … Took me off guard … I thought, just because you are in my head, just because your shadow is everywhere and I don’t see anything else, I thought you might still be that. You might still be twelve with the possibility of everything wrapped up in your blue, blue shadow. And when you weren’t, when you were just here, I couldn’t. I could not.

PEREGRINE reaches the window and runs her hand down it.

JOE turns away from the window.

JOE I lied. I did it badly and you saw it all … You don’t look good Peregrine. There’s not one bit of good left in you. Your shadow isn’t blue anymore and you’re somewhere way, way behind … But you know that, don’t you? You know all that.

JOE lies on the bed.

PEREGRINE opens the window.
