ANNA IS SEATED ON THE BED ALONE. WITH HER BACK TO THE CAMERA, ANNA PUTS HER BRA ON AND PICKS DANIEL'S SHIRT UP FROM THE BED AND PUTS IT ON.

ANNA HEARS SOMETHING BEING COOKED. SHE WALKS TO THE SOUND IN THE KITCHEN.

It always has been my dream to watch Mads cook. I was an avid Hannibal fan, of course. But to see it close, it is as artful and erotic as I imagined to be, Mads in character moved with grace unimaginable. To add, Daniel is not wearing anything but underwear and a black velvet robe he didn't close. My heart was getting tighter.

ANNA SITS ON THE LITTLE BENCH BY THE ISLE AND LEANS ON TO WATCH THE NOISY PAN WHERE BACON WAS BEING FRIED.

ANNA

Not very healthy, don't you think?

DANIEL

Since when do I care about health? Oh, and these are not for you darling. Young like you are, you should not be filling your body with so much fat.

DANIEL SMIRKS HUMOROUSLY. ANNA FURROWS HER BROW.

ANNA

Being old, you shouldn't either. Oh, com'on, Dan. You're not doing this to me, are you?

DANIEL TURNS HIS BACK AND OPENS THE REFRIGERATOR AND PICKS A BOWL OF CUBE CUT FRUITS. HE PLACES IT IN FRONT OF HER WITH A FORK BEFORE CONTINUING WORKING ON THE BACON.

DANIEL

There it is. And if you eat it all, I'll think about making you some waffles.

HE PUTS THE BACON ON A PLATE AND CIRCLES THE ISLE TO SIT BESIDE HER.

ANNA

I'm not a child. Not your baby girl for you to decide what I should eat or not.

DANIEL OBSERVES AS ANNA ANGRILY EATS A PIECE OF FRUIT FROM THE BOWL, WITH CARING EYES. HE PULLS HER HEAD CLOSER GENTLY AND KISSES HER HAIR.

DANIEL

Think twice.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Mads asks with his groggy morning voice.

I sigh heavily holding my head. I had tried to sit up silently, but he still woke up. I should be used to that by now, Mads being a light sleeper. It was probably morning telling by the streak of light coming through the tiny window. "No, I'm fine. Just the usual migraine."

"Reed. You've been having these 'usual migraines' all week. You should see a doctor or something. It can be something simple and you're letting it ruin your day, or it can be something serious and you're ignoring it."

"I'm tired that's all. Maybe an aspirin will help."

"You have already taken 20 aspirins this week. We still have a handful of scenes to shoot, you have to be well." His hand was warm as he caressed my lower back. "What kind of tired is that?"
