Hours -- Together
“We’re very disappointed, Michael.
We expected better from you. From you and from Simone.”
They’ll separate us.
Stay strong, Michael. Whatever they do, they can’t make us any less married.
Operations will cancel you. He’s been looking for an excuse.
He can try. Right after I kick his ass.
I’m serious, Simone. They’ll never let us stay together. Be together.
Probably not for long. We’ll have to take what we can get. A few hours here; a few hours there.
Hours? Is that enough for you?
Yes. If we’re together. We’ll have to make each hour together last a lifetime.

Days -- Paranoia
Try to smile, Michael
Pretend you enjoy spending downtime with your wife.
They’re up to something.
You’re paranoid.
I’m serious.
You’re *always* serious. That’s part of your problem, you know.
Why do they suddenly accept our being together? It feels wrong.
Being together? You’re just not used to it.
It’s been almost three months, and now they give us five whole days to be together?
And you’ve already wasted an hour trying to second-guess them. Just let it go.
I’m sorry. It’s just this feeling-
Michael Samuelle has a gut feeling? I’ll alert the media.
Simone, who is Salla Vacek?

Weeks -- Strangers
Excuse me.
I’m sorry. Oops. Careful.
Two dancers; one dance, but at different tempos.
Simone and I haven’t been together for weeks. We’ve hardly had the chance to get used to each other before we’re sent in different directions again.
She thinks I’m a slob. I think she can’t cook; though I don’t tell her. I am polite. We are polite. Distant. Like strangers.
“Davenport missed his mark again. Transferring him from Housekeeping was a mistake.”
“He’ll be okay. It takes time. Not everyone is as perfect as you.”
A joke? Insult? I don’t know.
I don’t know my wife.
