JEN No. Stop. I’m sorry. Ben, this has all been a huge mistake. BEN (surprised) What? Why? JEN It doesn’t matter why. BEN
It matters to me. Because I don’t think it’s been a mistake. I feel like I’ve waited my whole life to meet someone like you. Someone who challenges me and shows up, who’s this amazing combination of kind and strong... and beautiful. Like really beautiful, inside and out. All of this plunges Jen deeper into a self-loathing guilt spiral. JEN
No. Ben. No. That is-- you have no clue who I really am. You deserve to be with the person you just described, but I assure you, it is not me. BEN Jen-- this is crazy. What are you talking about? Help me understand. Is this because it’s too soon after your husband-- JEN No-- it’s not. BEN Can we at least talk about it-- JEN (fighting tears)
No, we can’t. Please just go, please don’t make this harder. Ben, hurt, retreats towards the door. He turns before he goes.
