a year later
(scene 1)
She was sad, hurt, and depressed. She was a mess and was in her most vulnerable state.
"Young Lady, why are you sitting alone in the dark? Don't you know it's unsafe for you?" Derrick Markham said.
"What difference would it make? Is it not better to die or be taken advantage of by a stranger than someone close to you?" Annabel said.
"I don't know where you're driving at but it's not safe for you to be out here."
"Where do you live, let me take you home.?" Derrick inquired
"Why do you ask, did they send you here?" She asked.
She gulped down the beer she was holding. Most of the beer spilled on her dress, only a few went in.
"Well, I will have to sit here with you, if you're unwilling to go home right now." Derrick Markham said and sat close to her.
"Hey! what are you doing? Go! get lost!"
"I'm not leaving you here." He firmly said
"And why is that?" She queried
"Because there are many wolves out there waiting for the right opportunity to devour you." He said
"And why do you care? you don't know me. What would you benefit from this gesture?" she inquired.
"You don't need to know someone before helping them." He said.

(scene 2)
She was comfortably lying down half-naked on a cozy bed covered with a quilt. The morning sun rays forced their way into the room through the curtain openings and woke her up.
"OMG! what happened here?"
"Where am I? whose house is this?"
"And how did I spend the night here?"
She kept asking herself these questions without getting any answers in return...
Just then the door was pushed open by a man with a tray in his hands that contains different dishes...
She has a conflicted look on her face...
