Woman: Love is lie that keep us alive.

The woman and man lay in bed. Bodies naked, entwined.

Man: It can’t be no lie... If it were, then what is this?

The woman sits up.

Woman: Oh. Well... this isn’t love.

The man retracts, pulling on his clothes.

Man: That’s okay. But love it ain’t no lie. It just don’t exist between us.

The man exits.
