JOE sits alone on a couch.

Silence.

After a moment, WENDY sits across from JOE.

 

WENDY: Hey.

 

JOE nods.

 

WENDY: How was your day?

 

JOE looks at WENDY to acknowledge her question but just looks away.

Silence.

 

WENDY: You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.

 

Pause.

 

JOE: Tough.

WENDY: Ok… Do you want to talk about it?

JOE: Not really.

WENDY: Ok… well… you don’t have to.

JOE: Ok.

WENDY: I’ll be in the other room if you need anything.

JOE: Ok.

WENDY: Ok. Bye.

 

JOE nods.

WENDY exits.

JOE sits.

Lights fade.

 

END OF PLAY.
