Pacing the room, Grace is nearly beside herself in worry. Why? Why did Stella go out and why isn't she back yet? We are running out of time...
Suddenly, she feels an overwhelming sense of fear and dread; moving to the door and pulling it open, a rush of cold, damp air hits her face, a scream echos. Stella! On instinct she runs towards the direction it came from; rounding the corner she comes face to face with Jack. A gasp escapes her lips and Jack pulls her to him. Oh, Grace, he murmurs. Hugging her tightly, he bends over and kisses her tear stained face. Wanting to give in, Grace struggles with her feelings and fears. No, I can't do this now, Stella is in danger. Jack, please, stop. Pushing away, she tries to get passed him, but he grabs her arm. No, the police are coming, you must go back. My sister needs me! Wrenching free, Grace angrily says, you could help me! Jack seeing the distress on her face, in the dim light, tries to calm her. There is no need; Norman has her. Shocked by his response, Grace steps back confused. What? Norman... In a direct and gentle manner Jack says again, Grace, please...go back.
Bewildered, Grace heads back, with Jack following behind a few paces. Watching Grace walking in front of him, like a vision in a dream, his heart is ripped to shreds once more; I have been trying to help you.
