What?

Marnie

We really need to talk about this

I know. Dinner. Friday night.

Whether you want this as much as I do

Another long pause.

Marnie

That’s not the right question

Then what is?

Marnie

Whether wanting it is enough

Friday. 7pm. We’ll figure out the rest.

She doesn’t respond, but she doesn’t say no either.

Twenty-three.
