“When will you be back, Arnold?”
“Don’t wait up.”
“But what time will you be home?”
“I dunno. Could be a late one. Not sure.”
“Well, what time does your shift end?”
“It might be a late one tonight.”
“I don’t know why I put up with this shit.”
“What shit?
“This shit. You.”
“What are you gonna do?”
“Don’t laugh. One morning you might wake up with one of your famous hangovers and roll over and feel my side of the bed cold.”
“Cold?”
“Cold and empty, like your shit-filled heart.”
“That don’t even make sense…I gotta get goin’.”
“Bye, Arnold.”
“Yup, see you later.”
“Hmm.”
“Don’t wait up.”
You have a way with dialogue, Nina. This is terrific. Makes me want to shake Arnold.
