(Lights up. A young couple
sits across from each
other in their dining room.)
SARAH:
And why are you always so stiff when we're in public? Are you ashamed of me?
DAN:
No, honey, of course not.
SARAH:
Well than what?
DAN:
I just... don't do well with people.
SARAH:
What? You're one of the most personable people I know.
DAN:
Yeah, there's that, but there's also all of the extreme hostility when I'm out there, too. You've seen it. I get cold in mean when we walk around.
SARAH:
I don't understand.
DAN:
I just feel threatened. Like everyone is trying to fuck with me. With us. I can't let my guard down.
SARAH:
Well you're hurting me in the process.
DAN:
I'm sorry.
SARAH:
You can't keep that up. It's more than just us. That's just no way to live.
DAN:
It makes things difficult.
(Lights fade.)
