How to earn a hug: a vignette

INT.: NOTABLY BUSY BAR/RESTAURANT, MOTHER'S DAY BRUNCH

CHRIS reenters the diner area after using the bathroom. His friend, MARY-SUZANNE, is working as a server. He signals to her. She turns to him.

CHRIS
I saw that the bathroom was low on paper towels, so I found the

MARY-SUZANNE hugs him. She's good at hugs.

CHRIS

they don't have to.



Yay! I was helpful! And I didn't spill or otherwise waste paper towels, either...
