Sonny: (licks his lips) My, my work involves secrets. Carly can't accept that. It involves quiet, Carly's loud. There are certain things Carly, you know, shouldn't know, but she can't accept that, you know what I mean. It's not in her, but then again it's not fair of me to ask. (looks away briefly, then makes eye contact with Alexis again) Let's be honest, you and me, you, you think Carly's crazy and I can't argue with that, but she is beautiful inside where it counts. Carly has no honor and she wouldn't know the truth if it jumped up and bit her, but she loves with her whole heart. And I think what makes her Carly, that fire, that in your face stubbornness would get burned out of her, if she stayed with me. (nods slightly) Now people, people have accused me of breaking people (Alexis looks at him seriously) and I don't want to do that with Carly. And I don't want her to do that to me. I've had enough of chaos, if Carly and I are apart then my life is under control. Can you understand that?
Alexis: Me understand (brings her hand to her heart) control? (as she almost trips over her chair) I almost fell over this chair.
Sonny: I'm sorry.
Alexis: You know how I am about control. I, I keep everything in nice little compartments. The problem is sometimes you wind up alone in one of those compartments. (sighs and smiles genuinely with her dimples showing)
Sonny looks up at her quietly.

Alexis: Needing someone.
Sonny: You gotta do what you gotta do to survive, even if it means protecting yourself from someone you love.
Alexis nods with a serious look at Sonny.
Sonny: What you gotta do is you've gotta tell them the truth, this is who you are, this is how you live your life, this is as much as I have to give and as far as I'll go. They either accept it or they don't. At least you know you were honest.
Alexis: That's very profound from a man with no ethics and morals.
Sonny: It's part of my code.
Alexis: Use that word again and I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
Sonny: You know what, we already settled this. I'm going to stay here and make sure you're safe.
Alexis: Okay, I'm going to go fix up the guestroom and... (she walks over to the closet while continuing to look in Sonny's direction, fumbling behind her back to grasp the handle of the entry closet door) Actually, I should probably let you do it because I'm sure you're rather persnickety about how your bed is made.
Sonny: (with hands on his hips, laughs, then smiles with his cavernous dimples showing) You know what, if you're interested in my bed making skills I'd, I'd be happy to demonstrate for you.
Alexis: That's okay. I'll just give you the blanket and the sheet.
Sonny: All right, you know what I'm, I'm not sleeping very much. I'm going to go ahead and sleep on the couch.
Alexis: (looks incredulous at his statement) Okay, then I'll just get you a pillow. (goes back to the open closet, pulls a pillow from the top shelf and hands it to Sonny) Here you go.
Sonny: I can pretty much, I can take it from here.
Alexis: Great. Okay, so I'm gonna just turn in (smiles at him) unless you need me for anything.
Sonny: No, I'll be fine.
Alexis: Okay, all right, so goodnight (walks to the stairs and starts walking up them backwards and half trips in her heels before she catches herself) and thank you.
Sonny: Okay, you're welcome, goodnight.
Scene fades to black
It is dark in Alexis' living room, the couch has been made up with the sheet blanket and pillow. Sonny is standing and looking out of the window, he crosses to the couch and sits. He puts his hand to his face and thinks "Damn it, Carly."
Meanwhile upstairs, Alexis shifts restlessly in her sleep.
Alexis walks down the stairs dressed in her black silk pajamas with a pillow in her hands. She walks over to the couch finally stopping when she's standing in front of it looking down at Sonny's sleeping form. He wakes and she hands him the pillow. He takes the pillow from her and sets is aside. Then he removes the covers, slides his legs out, stands up and puts his hands up to Alexis' face and starts kissing her passionately. She pushes his red silk shirt off of his body while they continue to kiss one another with wild and heady abandon, as his caressing hands drive her to the brink of insanity.
Sonny turns his attention to Alexis' neck and murmurs almost indistinctly to her "I love you." Then he grasps her wayward hands which had been caressing his chest and back and pushes them behind her. He releases her hands and they continue to kiss and embrace one another passionately, as though they could never get enough of one another.
Alexis: Oh, my God. (she exclaims as she sits up suddenly in her bed, wide awake and aghast at the turn into passion that her dream had taken and with whom)
Meanwhile Sonny is standing silently in the corner of her room and her shocked expression at his presence.
