MARK and REBECCA siting on chairs.

Except for Mark, Rebecca and the two chairs – the stage is empty.

MARK and REBECCA are facing each other.

Pause.

BECCA: I love you.

MARK: What does that mean?

Pause.

BECCA: It means that you have been a huge part of my life and I am a better person because of it.

Pause.

MARK: I miss you.

BECCA: What does that mean?

MARK: It means that when you are not here with me, I can’t stop thinking about how much I need you.

Pause.

BECCA: I’ve learned so much the past two months.

MARK: What does that mean?

Pause.

BECCA: It means that being separated from each other has been a new experience for us and it was an eye opening time.

Pause.

MARK: I want you to always be here.

BECCA: What does that mean?

MARK: It means I want you to prioritize our relationship ahead of your work.

Pause.

BECCA: I want more.

MARK: What does that mean?

Pause.

BECCA: It means we’ve been together for so long and maybe we’ve outgrown each other.

MARK: What does that mean?

BECCA: It means that sometimes people are right for each other at different times in their life.

MARK: What does that mean?

BECCA: It means that we are different people now.

Pause.

MARK: I won’t let you.

BECCA: What does that mean?

MARK: I won’t let you.

BECCA: What does that mean?

MARK: I. Will. Not. Let. You.

BECCA stands.

BECCA: Say it again.

MARK: I WON’T LET YOU!

BECCA exits.

 

END OF PLAY.
