ZARA

It's Friday. Zara watches Laura freak out as she gets ready for Michael to come pick her up.

"Relax, Laura babes," Zara tells her, popping her earphones out of her ears and pausing her movie. "You look great," she compliments, observing Laura from head to toe. It's true she does look great. That dress is to die for.

"Yeah, you're right, i need to calm down."

The truth is that Laura still hasn't talked to Michael. He only messaged her that morning to tell her he was going to pick her up. And, the message was a little too brief for Laura's sake.

Zara gets out of bed, pulls her t shirt over her bare thighs, and goes over to hug Laura. "You look gorgeous, okay? You are strong and you mean the world to Michael. He's okay."

"Yeah," Laura nods. "You are a lifesaver, you." She tells Zara.

"So I've heard," Zara jokes, trying to lighten Laura's mood.

Laura's phone rings. Michael is here.
