EXT. A FAMILIAR FRONT DOOR - NIGHT
A porch light. Two cups. A long way home.
03 You kept the light on. 0:00 04 The switch sticks. I could pretend that was the reason. 0:02 05 I had a speech for this. Somewhere between the station and your third step, it stopped sounding like me. 0:07 06 Good. I never liked the version of you that sounded prepared. 0:15 07 I should have called. Not to ask you to wait. Just to say I didn't know how to come back. 0:21 08 I didn't wait, June. I painted the kitchen. I learned to sleep on your side. I bought a very ugly chair. 0:28 09 How ugly? 0:36 10 It's brave of you to ask before seeing it. 0:38 11 I'm not asking for my old place. Maybe just somewhere to sit while I tell you the truth. 0:42 12 The chair's available. The coffee is still terrible. 0:49 13 I missed the terrible coffee. And you. Mostly you. I wanted to get that order right. 0:54 14 Then come in. You can start with the chair, and we'll see about tomorrow. 1:01 ✳ End of reading
