I never regretted any moment of our time together.

[glassbox]

It wasn't the time we were together that was the goddamn problem.

[ioudas]

Things happen.

[glassbox]

Is that the excuse we're usin' now?

[ioudas]

Fine, I pick up and leave for strange reasons and I never tell anyone. Is that better?

[glassbox]

It ain't better. S'just true.

[ioudas]

It's called a euphemism, darling.

[glassbox]

What? Are y'makin' fun a'me now?

[ clearly she doesn't get it!! ]

[ioudas]

You're jumping to conclusions.

[glassbox]

I ain't jumpin' t'nothin'.

[ioudas]

You are, and you know it.

[glassbox]

I don't know nothin' either. 'Specially not 'bout you.

[ioudas]

You know enough about me.

[glassbox]

Not enough t'figure that you'd leave me.

[ioudas]

To be fair, I laid out all my faults when we first started to sleeping together.

[glassbox]

Y'think I give a damn about fair right now?

[ioudas]

It's not as if it's a secret.

[glassbox]

Jus' tell me somethin', Cross.

Was I jus' like all the other women t'you?

[ioudas]

(there's a silence. there's the "no, you're not" but then she'll over think it. there's the "yes, you were" that'll ruin her night.)

I have to go, Lil.

[ she isn't sure why she feels hurt by his refusal to answer. after a moment: ]

Yeah. Y'always do.

[ and she hangs up. ]
