Me

You didn’t miss it. I just wasn’t sure what to say about it all. It started off as a fun little game. A way to help me with my writing. I told you I was struggling with it.

Hallie

And now?

Me

Now we’re…an us, I guess. In a defined but still not entirely defined way. It’s all very complicated.

Jo

It’s really not. Or at least, it doesn’t have to be. You look happy, Hans. Happier than I’ve seen you in a long, long time.

Hallie

Are you happy, Hans?

Me

I am. He makes me happy.

Hallie

Then it doesn’t have to be any more complicated than that.

Jo

Hal, are you sure we can’t convince you to move to Boston? It’s wrong to be this far apart.

Hallie

You couldn’t pay Ben to leave Pittsburgh. That man was made to be here. This is our place.

Jo

I know it. I just miss you.

Me

Same.

Hallie

What about you, Hans? You thinking about making Boston your place now?

Jo

I haven’t wanted to say anything because I don’t want to put any pressure on you but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE NEVER LEAVE ME.

Me

I really don’t know. I always thought Boston was temporary.

Hallie

And now?
