MONTAGE – LOVE IN MOTION
INT. MUSIC STUDIO – DAY
A quiet hum from the mixing board.
WILLIAM at the console, headphones on.
LILY watches from the back — soft eyes, quiet awe.
She approaches, wraps her arms around him from behind.
He turns, pulls off the headphones. Smiles.
No words — just this moment.
EXT. CITY STREET – RAIN – DAY
LILY laughs as rain begins to fall.
WILLIAM grabs her hand — they run.
Under an awning now, catching their breath.
Their eyes meet. The joy between them is weightless.
INT. BASEMENT JAZZ BAR – NIGHT
Red velvet curtains. A jazz trio plays.
LILY and WILLIAM sit at a small candlelit table.
She leans in. Whispers something.
He smiles — like he just fell for her all over again.
EXT. CENTRAL PARK LAKE – GOLDEN HOUR
A boat glides. Still water.
LILY leans into WILLIAM’s chest.
Books in their hands. Sunglasses.
They lie quietly, reading.
She turns a page. He glances at her, smiling.
The world is soft here.
INT. KITCHEN – EVENING
Snow falls outside. LILY stirs a pot. Tastes. Smirks.
From the record player — a familiar melody.
WILLIAM hears it. His eyes light up.
He grabs her hand. Twirls her into him.
They sway. Nothing fancy. Just her cheek on his.
Stillness in motion.
INT. BEDROOM – EARLY MORNING
Light floats in. Pinkish, quiet.
Curtains sheer. The hush of first light.
WIDE SHOT – THE BED
LILY and WILLIAM wrapped in each other.
White sheets across her hips. Her back bare.
CLOSE-UP – THEIR FACES
Already awake. Already smiling.
That look — when words aren’t needed.
He leans in. Slow. Eyes never leaving hers.
WILLIAM
(whispers)
I love you.
She exhales — A sound you only make when you're safe.
He kisses her. Featherlight. Once.
Then again — slower. Fuller. Certain.
She kisses back — No rush. No hesitation.
He pulls her in.
His hand down her back — open, grounding, home.
Her fingers in his hair.
They move like they’ve done this a thousand times.
TOP SHOT – CLOSE PORTRAIT
Their heads fill the frame.
Breath shared. He brushes her hair from her cheek.
She closes her eyes. Their foreheads touch.
No words. None needed.
EXT. QUIET STREET – DAY
LILY talks, animated — hands flying.
WILLIAM watches, glowing.
He wraps his arm around her.
Shakes his head. In awe.
INT. LIVING ROOM – NIGHT
Warm light. Jazz playing.
LILY curled on the couch, reading.
WILLIAM enters.
WILLIAM
I missed you.
CLOSE-UP – LILY
She lowers her book.
LILY
(teasing)
You were gone five minutes.
WILLIAM
Yeah, so?
He flops on her.
Head on her chest.
Her hand in his hair.
Safe.
EXT. ROOFTOP – SUNSET
Golden light. City glowing.
LILY, WILLIAM, RUBY, THOMAS, SARAH, and CHRIS.
Laughter, drinks, wind in their hair.
WIDE SHOT
CHRIS lifts the camera.
CHRIS
Guys!
LILY and WILLIAM turn. The flash hits them.
SMASH CUT TO:
EXT. NYC STREET – PHOTO BOOTH – DAY
CLOSE-UP – PHOTO STRIP SLIDING OUT
LILY grabs it.
CAMERA FACING THEM
LILY
(smiling)
Pretty sure you already filled it.
WILLIAM
(smirks)
It’s already full.
LILY
Then we’ll just keep making new ones.
She spins, walks out of frame.
He follows.
