Act Two, Scene Two
(They sit side by side, on the Look-Out, passing a bottle of wine back and forth.)
James:
When I saw you again, I knew I had made the biggest mistake 6 years ago, letting you go.
Deborah:
I used to dream I'd see you again, used to hope.
James:
Actually, when you left, moved away. It hit me, then. I thought I'd lost you forever.
Deborah:
But, here I am.
James:
Deborah.
(They kiss.)
Deborah:
Forever.
James:
You really mean it?
Deborah:
Yeah, I do.
James:
Okay, then. Forever.
Deborah:
So, you staying with friends?
James:
Yeah, but trying to find my own place.
Deborah:
How's that going?
James:
Not so good. They want references. I haven't lived anywhere for awhile now. You know, doing the homeless thing, basically.
Deborah:
Right. What about work?
James:
Not really, but I can work freelance, for now.
Deborah:
So, you have money coming in?
James:
Yeah, sort of.
Deborah:
Well, I'm looking for a room-mate---
James:
Yeah.
Deborah:
Maybe, you can, you know, live with me, for awhile, or something.
James:
Really?
Deborah:
And, I'm pretty set, basically, financially.
James:
Basically...
Deborah:
So?
James:
I'll do it. Yeah, let's try it.
