I’m working on a new short story. I wrote the ending, but I don’t know how it starts.
FRANCIS
Read us what you got.
JACK
“Whatever happens in the end, she said, I don’t want to lose you as my friend. He looked into her eyes. I promise I will never be your friend, no matter what, ever. Her voice cracked. If we fuck, I’m going to feel like shit tomorrow. That’s OK with me, he said. He lifted her shirt over her head. I love you, she said. I never hurt you on purpose. He nodded. I don’t care.
He would not be going to Italy.”
Does that sound OK?
FRANCIS
Yeah. It’s hard for me to judge the ending without knowing the rest of it.
PETER
I like how mean you are.
JACK
The characters are all – thanks.
