Irene: And Erin’s invitation?

Keira turns to Irene, gesturing frantically.

Keira: It’s on Halloween! You know how it is Irene…

She looks ahead again, eyes wide, her body trembling slightly with her left hand clutching her chest.

Keira: Monsters everywhere. Not being able to tell who is in costume…and who is one of them.

Keira’s expression deadens.

Keira: No, I’m staying home like I always do.

Irene glances down and sighs, disappointed in Keira’s response.
