Harriet walks into the café. She looks nervous.
INT. INSIDE THE CAFE
Harriet buys a coffee from the waiter behind the till.
Harriet - Can I have a coffee please?
Waiter - Yeah, sure. What kind would you like?
Harriet - Just black please.
Waiter makes the coffee and hands it to Harriet
Waiter - There ya go
Harriet - Thanks.
Harriet walks to a spare table.
[V.O] - Harriet writing in her diary
Harriet - Today's the day. I can't believe how fast the time's gone. I can't even describe the nerves I'm feeling right now. What if I'm not what they expect? I really hope I'm right, I really hope she's a girl. This is all I've been thinking of for the past couple months. She's all I've thought about. This timer...it's felt like a slow-ticking bomb, ready to go off in my face...
Harriet looks around and looks back down again. The waiter walks over to Harriet.
Waiter - Can I get you anything else?
Harriet - Umm, no thank you.
Waiter looks at timer on Harriet's wrist.
Waiter - Ooooh, not long now. You excited?
Harriet - More nervous than anything really.
Waiter - You'll be fine. I was the same when my timer was close to finishing but it was all fine in the end. I'll leave you now dear. Good luck!
Waiter walks away. Harriet looks back down at her timer and sees it's only 10 seconds.
[V.O] - Harriet's thoughts
Oh my god, it's happening. Just breathe. Breathe
Harriet looks around the room nervously. She flicks her eyes to the door and sees a young girl wearing light coloured clothing and makeup on her face. Their eyes meet across the room. Harriet gasps.
