You had posted this last night and I had this comment all laid out. However, when I hit add a comment - the entry just disappeared! Like poof. Magic.
LOL.
So what I basically said last night:
I LOVE THIS.
The first and last scene particularly left lasting impressions on me.
The first scene reminds me of the scene between Ben Afflack and Jennifer Aniston's characters in He's Just Not That Into You where her father had a heart attack and she was the one taking care of him while her sisters and their stupid husbands were basically inadequate. Who walks in? Ben Afflack's character who basically up until this point, was all for commitment except for marriage. I think your scene played so much better simply because of the added nuances of the inner dialogue that's going on. You really do have a way with the quiet and mental moments. So good.
The last scene has me wanting to pull my hair out with these two, LOL. I keep wanting to scream - WILL YOU STOP WASTING TIME. I get it - it's a complicated line, one they can't afford to cross with the way their relationship seems to have them firing at their best and most efficient. But at what cost?!? This has to wear on them, especially Donna! To constantly deny the way they feel, especially when they seem to have no problem crossing the line in the most quiet and poignant of ways?!?

GET IT TOGETHER, YOU TWO IDIOTS!
Which basically means - YOU ARE BRILLIANT!
