CAST:
Mark, 40s
Daphne, 40s

(Lights up on Daphne already in bed, reading a book. Mark is taking off his watch and setting it on the nightstand on his side of the bed. He climbs in to bed.)

MARK

So, does your husband think you're working an extra shift at the hospital?

DAPHNE

Yeah.

MARK

My wife think's I'm in Houston on business.

(They look at each other.)

MARK (continuing)

Well, goodnight.

DAPHNE

Goodnight.

(They both turn off the lights near their sides of the bed. A moment later, Daphne's light turns back on.)

DAPHNE

I think the passion's gone out of our affair.

MARK

Can we talk about this in the morning?

DAPHNE

Yeah. Okay.

(She turns off the light.)
