Forbidden Fruit- Part 7
The tension in the room could have been cut with a knife as Nora and Bo stood face to face with her family. Susannah had tried to get her to come with her to avoid a scene but she had refused to leave Bo’s side. It was then that Nora’s sister realized that she truly did love the man she had just married and it was not the puppy dog love that their parents had been so sure it was. When her father tried to reach for her, she stepped back.
Selma: Can’t we all just talk about this in a rational way?
Nora: There’s nothing rational about this in daddy’s eyes
Len: Nora, you are not old enough to be running around with a man twice your age.
Nora: Aren’t you exaggerating just a LITTLE?
Selma: Come on sweetie, your daddy is just worried about you.
Nora: He doesn’t need to be. He acts like I’m a child and I’m not. I might not be of legal age but I’m 17… I think I know when I’m in love.
Len: Love? Nora, for heavens sake… you don’t even know what the word means, you’re a teenager. There are going to be plenty of boys who come in and out of your life before you settle down.
Nora: I don’t need boys… I have a man. And just so you know? I DO know what love is. Love is when you put someone else’s needs ahead of your own... when your happiness depends on the happiness of another. Do NOT patronize me daddy… just because you don’t like Bo…
Len: I would have no problem with him if it wasn’t for the fact that…
Nora: Oh that’s hogwash and you know it. His age is just an excuse. You don’t like him because he comes from money.
Len: Well now that you mention it…
Nora: It’s not his fault that he’s rich. And for your information, you would never know it. He has nothing but respect for women.
Len: Respect? Is that why he’s been sleeping with you? Nora, for heavens sake, you don’t think I’m blind do you? And you know exactly what that is?
Nora: I will never give you anything to hurt him.
Len: You don’t have to. In this day and age, without a parent’s consent it’s illegal.
Nora: It’s not illegal to have an age difference when you are all grown up… most people never even notice… so why the hell are you acting like it’s such a big deal now…It’s not illegal to love someone.?
Len: One of these days you are going to thank me
Nora: I will never forgive you if you do this.
Bo: Nora, it’s ok. We knew the risks.
Nora: No, don’t. He’s not doing this for any other reason then to keep us apart. Why should we be apart Bo? We love each other.
Bo: And nothing will EVER change that. I swear to you… Your father can force us to be apart but somehow, some way I will find you and even if its years from now, I will fight for you… Nothing will EVER change what I feel about you or what we have been to each other. You can hold that in your heart until we find each other again.
Nora: You sound like you're saying goodbye?
He kissed her passionately as he turned to her and cried.
Bo: I don't have a choice Nora. I can't fight your father.
Nora: This is so wrong. I love you. I don't want you to leave.
Bo: I don't want to leave you either. I love You Nora Hanen Buchanan... nobody can EVER hold a candle to you. Nothing and no one will EVER change that.
Nora: I'm your wife Bo. I'm not giving that up for anyone. They can force us apart but they CAN'T force me to divorce you. I love you. Nothing and no one will EVER change that.
She started crying when Len motioned for the police to come. Nora threw herself at his feet begging him not to go… begging her father not to do this… begging anyone who would listen not to keep her from him. Susannah came and pulled her off of Bo’s legs and she fell to the floor, still in her wedding dress, still crying. She put her head in her sister’s lap and she stroked her hair as she cried until she couldn’t cry anymore… screaming that she hated her dad and would never forgive him. Bo looked back at the woman he loved as he was being led away and the only thought he had was that he would give anything to make her pain stop.
