Later that day Mickey gives Milo a call.

MILO: Hey gorgeous. I was just thinking about you.

MICKEY: I bet you say that to all the girls.

MILO: (chuckles) Only the ones I really like. How’ve you been since we last saw each other?

MICKEY: I’ve been great, thank you. And how have you been? You couldn’t wait to get away from me.

MILO: Hey, don’t be like that. You know I was flying out the very next morning.

MICKEY: I’m joking (chuckling). I had such a great time, I just wished we’d have more time together.

MILO: Me too. When are you heading back to Cape Town? Maybe you could take a detour.

MICKEY: Day after tomorrow. And I’d love that, but as soon as I’m back I’ll be swamped.

They both hesitate for a few seconds.

MICKEY: But you could always do a weekend away, seeing that you’re your own boss.

MILO: The perks! I’d love that. Maybe we could work something out.

MICKEY: You know, I do have a few days free. I could change my flight for Joburg and spend the rest of my vacation there.

There is silence.

MICKEY: Last night was great. And I was thinking that I’d really love to see where this goes between us. You know, have real closure.

MILO: I was thinking the same thing. But…

There is silence.

MICKEY: But what? Milo?

MILO: I’m seeing someone.

MICKEY: I’m sorry, what did you say?

MILO: I’m… I have a girlfriend.

MICKEY: (angry) What the hell, Milo? A girlfriend? And what about last night?

MILO: Look, last night we both agreed…

MICKEY: You lied to me, Milo! You know you had a girlfriend and you still slept with me!

Silence.

MICKEY: How many women have you slept with?

Silence.

MICKEY: Oh my God! Does your girlfriend know?

Silence.

MICKEY: Is it like one of those open relationships?

MILO: Of course not, Mickey. She doesn’t know.

Silence.

MICKEY: I’m sitting here freaking out because of a one-night stand I had last night. And on top of that you tell me that you’ve been sleeping around with god knows how many women!

MILO: I’m so sorry, Mickey. This is not how I wanted things to be. I really like you.

MICKEY: Clearly not enough to protect me! Do you even know your HIV status?

MILO: (softly) No. Not since I last tested over a year ago.

MICKEY: You said it was OK! That you were OK. That you haven’t been with anyone in a while too. You took advantage of me because you wanted what you wanted.

MILO: I’m so sorry, Mickey. I really am.

Mickey hangs up. She is crying. She throws the phone away from her, across the bed.
