Francesca: So! I haven’t been able to touch Marina since the night of that aweful dinner with the three of us.  It’s obvious that your little affair has profoundly touched Marina.

Jenny: How’s that, I haven’t seen or heard from Marina in well over a year?

Francesca: That may be but Marina hasn’t been the same since the two of you met .

Jenny: Well, I  believe that your little love games have come back and  bit you in the *****? Francesca “you can’t play with people’s hearts,” you just can’t do that you!

With Jenny’s words stinging and causing Francesca to feel defeated, Francesca looks down at the floor and wipes a tear from her eye and walks over to Jenny.

Francesca: Obviously I played with Marina’s heart too long. Maybe I just don’t know how to love anyone.

Jenny: I wouldn’t say that, but now (pause) at least you’ll know for the next time.  Besides, by your coming here to talk to me it’s obvious that you love Marina. I have to say  that open relationship aren’t all that great afterall, wouldn’t you?

Francesca:  When I came back from Italy and I told Marina about my seducing the Prima Ballerina, Marina askedme if it was worth it . Then I asked her if she had met anyone and she told me that she met a writer. I wantto clear something up , Marina never said anything else about you except that you were young and very beautiful.

Jenny: Then how did you find out about my book,The Demons That Tempt Me?

Francesca: Marina wrote about it in her journal.

Jenny:  Jenny angrily asks, why in the ***** would you invade her privacy?  Journals are people’s most private thoughts,oh but you already know that, don’t you? Well did you find what you were looking for?

Francesca: Actually I found alot more but that is none of your business.

Jenny: You’re right it is none of my business, Marina has told me all that she wanted me to know.

Francesca: After I came back and Marina wouldn’t let me touch her and coupled with the fact that she refused to talk about you. I decided that reading her journal was the only way that I was going to get any answers to my questions, so I read her damn journal.
