Not in the Script (48 page)

Darren clears his throat. “Pippa still hasn't seen the Colosseum. How do you feel about walking over there?” he asks Nina.

“Sure!” She turns toward him and holds out her palm. “But I want some gelato first.”

Without missing a beat, he pulls a few coins out of his pocket and drops them in her palm.

“Thanks, doll,” she says as she scampers off.

So he has a girlfriend. My reaction to this piece of information confuses me. Part of me is relieved—I feel like if he's got a girlfriend, the chances of him being a psycho trying to lure me away are slightly less. But another part of me is disappointed.

Oh, well. He's not Italian anyway.
