Bound: The Second Chance

LOCKEY
I can't find the right beat; I don't know the key... The rhythm of my life is lost without the music of my heart.
I drew the Queen of Diamonds - a choice I can't help but regret, because now it seems that my bluff is about to be called.

But she of all people should realize; I had to learn to live before I could remember how to love.

CAOIMHE
He promised me they wouldn't come. He said they'd leave me alone.
He lied.
But these boots were made for walking, so that's what I'm going to do; right back into his life.
He is mine. And they will pay.

ANNA
If this is what freedom looks like, then send me back to Hell.
The white picket fence of real life; a suburban dream akin to the cold steel bars of the cell we deserved.
Locked together,
Chained forever,
Tied to this life;
we feel bound to suffer our twisted hate.
But could a girl with a key be the light that sets me free?
