Week 5: Post Execution

[disclosures]

[After a while, like maybe three or four hours after the execution, Rebecca's looking for Evan. She doesn't seem like she's been crying or anything along those lines. But she does seem tired. Almost like she hasn't been sleeping that well.

She'll start by knocking on his door.]

Evan? Are you there?

Comments

[selfinserting]

That's not really...

[What he meant, he starts to say, but he lets it pass.]

Okay. Truth or dare?

[disclosures]

Truth. You seem better with these ones.

[selfinserting]

Same question to you. The, um, the guilty pleasures one.

[disclosures]

Chocolate cigars after breakups until I get a stomach ache.

[selfinserting]

I thought you said food didn't count as a guilty pleasure...?

[disclosures]

I said ice-cream.

Anyway, the other stuff is definitely not safe for your ears.

[selfinserting]

How is ice cream different from chocolate...?

[But, um.]

...Oh, okay, that's okay because I really don't need to hear whatever it is, then!

[disclosures]

Good choice, Evan!

[Somewhere in the distance period sex plays]

[selfinserting]

Right. Yeah. So, um, moving on, I choose dare this time!

[disclosures]

[Give her a second to think about this one...]

Oh! You know what, I heard about the cinnamon challenge. You should do that.

[selfinserting]

...Haven't people died doing that?

[disclosures]

Have they? I haven't heard of that. How about the ice bucket one?

... Is there ice up here?

[selfinserting]

There's probably ice in the kitchen...? That's the one where you just dump a bucket of ice over yourself, right?

[disclosures]

Yeah, that's the one! I think it's for ALS awareness?

[selfinserting]

Yeah, I remember now.

[A beat.]

Do you think we'll make a mess in the kitchen?

[disclosures]

... We can bring it up to the pool. I don't think anybody's going to be there at this time of night.

[selfinserting]

[He nods.]

That's, that's a good idea. You want to head that way?

[disclosures]

Yeah. Do you think there's a bucket there? I mean, there's probably some bowls, right?

[selfinserting]

I don't really know about buckets... But we could just get, get a big bowl. It's fine.
