Act 2 Sc. 5 The Unbearable Wait

Pompt F


Juliet:
I could no longer wait for the Nurse to arrive. I stood there impatiently. As I saw her approaching in the distance my body shook with excitement. I dearly awaited the news but she came with no words just gasping for breaths. I was eager, too eager to know what Romeo has sent her to tell me. I plead and plead for her to say something but her age was getting in the way. She finally had enough oxygen to tell me something. However, she seemed to hold back. I was annoyed that she wouldn't just tell me a simple thing. I got really frustrated at her when she randomly mentioned my Mother. She had nothing to do with the situation! All of that anger changed with a blink of an eye when she told me Romeo's plans. My heart seemed to race with a feeling of sweet warm honey. My face lit up like a Christmas tree. All I wanted to do was be with Romeo every second of the day and for the rest of my life.
