Interlude

CLAIRE
Hey, it’s Clarie!
I’m ready for the party!
I know I’m late
But, God, I swear, you live so far downtown!
What was that?
Yes, of course he’s coming to the party.
I don’t know, he’s back at home still
Maybe coming down with something.
No for Christ’s sakes, I’m not lying
No, my God, I’ve not been crying
Will you excuse me for a minute?
