Question: Why doesn't KJ want Aster to visit him on Mayne Island? What is he trying to hide?
Act II
Stage direction: Aster centre stage sitting on a chair
Ferry siren sounds
Voice over: This ferry sails to the Southern Gulf Islands, only.
ASTER: Do I have my sunglasses? Did I bring my chequebook? (searches purse)
(quickly stands and starts to pace) What will happen if I get off at the wrong island? How will I get back to Mayne Island? I don't know anyone on any of those other islands. I could be kidnapped and left for dead on some other island and on some other island, and no one would care.
(stage lights begin to fade)
Calm down (sits) Just calm down. Everything will be fine. KJ will be so happy to see me. He'll run to me, arms open--wanting--no, demanding a hug. I'll be a little embarrassed by this public show of affection. But I could never deny him anything. So we'll hug.
He'll say, "I love you."
And I'll whisper, "I love you too."
But we'll wait until we reach the truck to kiss. Then he'll drive us home. The house will be different from our townhouse obviously. But it will be charming and it will overlook the sea.
Voice over: We are now arriving at Village Bay, Mayne Island--transfer point for Saturna Island. Disembarking passengers, please make your way to the car deck.
Next Sunday
Lean on a Gulf Islander
Will KJ be waiting at the dock?
Follow me...
