SYLVIA and CLEO eat a big fucking cake.
CLEO stops mid-bite.
CLEO: Oh shit.
SYLVIA: What?
CLEO: I forgot I’m gluten-free.
SYLVIA: Oh shit.
CLEO: Shit.
SYLVIA: Yeah…shit.
CLEO: I’m going to-
SYLVIA: -Shit. For like a week.
CLEO: This cake-
SYLVIA: -is not gluten-free.
CLEO: Shit.
CLEO takes another bite.
SYLVIA: What are you doing? Stop.
CLEO: I’m in too deep.
SYLVIA: You’re going to make yourself sick.
CLEO: This cake deserves me even if I don’t deserve it.
CLEO takes another bite.
SYLVIA takes another bite.
CLEO takes another bite.
SYLVIA puts down her fork.
CLEO puts down her fork too.
CLEO picks up her fork and takes another bite.
CLEO: What?
CLEO keeps eating.
SYLVIA steps away from CLEO slowly in fear.
CLEO eats the entire cake.
The end.
