Speaker A
My daring do is half disguised behind the smile. My beak is grinding. Never minding, I swore I wouldn't dwell on the divorce.
Speaker A
For my own health, I'll remind myself that when I see him, I know that it won't feel so tough.
Speaker A
I'll believe him and not the voice that says I'm not enough. No need for an arrangement.
Speaker A
It can just be him and me. I'll set us free. How perfect it could be when I see him tonight.
Speaker B
See him tonight? All right, all right.
Speaker B
It's been a while since he begged for attention. Are we okay?
Speaker B
Can't really say.
Speaker B
I'm getting by by avoiding his questions. So complicated. I hate when it's complicated. Why do I always end up in situations that are complicated?
Speaker B
Here I go again, getting in my head, so I'll focus on the sexy stuff instead.
Speaker A
When I see him.
Speaker B
When I see him, I'm gonna do that thing he likes.
Speaker A
I will change.
Speaker B
No need to change things.
Speaker B
I'll just bring the rope and spikes.
Speaker A
Spikes.
Speaker B
We've got a nice arrangement and it's working out just fine.
Speaker B
We'll keep it light.
Speaker A
I'll fucking die alone if this goes bad.
Speaker B
When I see him tonight.
Speaker A
Am I doing something I can't take back?
Speaker B
No.
Speaker A
What if he was free?
Speaker B
We're fine.
Speaker A
And if he's only here as a prisoner, what kind of monster does that make me?
Speaker A
My entire life's been written in stone.
Speaker B
And a book.
Speaker A
He taught me that I could choose.
Speaker B
Sure.
Speaker A
He just left the choice to stay or go, though it scares me to think what I'd lose.
Speaker B
Can't wait to lose ourselves in nasty sex and make that bird squat.
Speaker A
Really must converse.
Speaker B
We'll just stick with what makes sense.
Speaker B
Like him sucking my...
Speaker A
Oh, this is the worst.
Speaker B
Waiting for the shoe to drop.
Speaker B
Who needs words when you got a mouthful of...
Speaker A
Then I'll do that thing with my tongue.
Speaker A
Is he worthy of your love and trust?
Speaker B
I'll leave his butt nice and rough.
Speaker A
Tonight cannot come soon enough.
Speaker B
It'll be coming soon enough.
Speaker A
Oh, yeah.
Speaker A
But when I see him, will it be tender or be tough? Will it please him or will I just be fucking it all up?
Speaker A
Can this be our relationship?
Speaker A
Or am I still naive? I'll set us free.
Speaker A
Whatever it may be, when I see him tonight.
