Prompt: Is there a reason you're naked in my bed?
"Is there a reason you're naked in my bed?"
"Your bed looked comfortable. Sleeping with my clothes on is not."
"I remember telling you that I would kill you if I ever saw you in Paris again."
"I remember you telling me you won'r attack a defenceless woman."
"I remember that you are never defenceless."
"Even when I'm naked?"
"Especially is the word you're looking for."
"So you are going to attack me?"
"What are you doing here?"
"I was planning to get some sleep."
"Do you really think I'm playing this game with you?"
"Is that a sword or are you just happy to see me?"
"Let's try again. What are you doing here?"
"I'm not speaking with a sword to my throat."
"It's that or you die. I wasn't joking, Milady."
"Fine. I die."
"…"
"Come on. Do get on with murdering me and get some rest. You look tired."
"Fuck you, Anne."
"Don't be so upset. You can try to kill me again tomorrow. I will not sneak out in the morning, I promise."
"So you intend to stay?"
"Yes."
"Here?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because I'm not happy anywhere else. Are you happy?"
"Are you serious?"
"Deadly."
"That you are."
"And you are not happy."
"And you think you can change that?"
"I caused it didn't I?"
"A hurricane can't make up for the damage, Anne, it can only cause more."
"Then it's a good thing I'm just a woman, not a hurricane."
"I doubt that."
"I can prove it to you."
"How?"
"By going back to the issue of me being naked in your bed."
"So there is a reason to it?"
"Of course."
"Care to enlighten me?"
"How daft can you be?"
"Are you trying to persuade me your only plan was to seduce me? That's too simple for you, my darling."
"Well, it's been ten minutes and you went from threatening to kill me to calling me darling. I say it's working out perfectly well."
"What do you want?"
"What happened to calling me darling?"
"Don't push it."
"Put the wine down."
"Ordering me around at my own home?"
"Please."
"I'm listening."
"Thank you. On second thought, could I have a sip?"
"Treat yourself."
"You want me to get up and get it?"
"You're not bedridden, are you?"
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Afraid to look?"
"It's called showing respect. You might not be familiar with the concept"
"I don't care much for your respect."
"Are you just going to stand there?"
"I'm not drinking wine from the bottle and I can't find a glass."
"Damn you, woman."
"Thanks. Damn you too."
"I'll have some as well."
"I don't think so, you've been overindulging lately. I worry for you."
"If you worried for me you wouldn't be in my home. Naked."
"Lets agree to disagree."
"You know what, I'm done. Do whatever. Stay, go, I don't care. I'm going to bed."
"Oh?"
"Don't even count on it. I'm sleeping on the floor."
"Fine. It's your house after all, you can do as you please."
"Except when you are taking over it with your nakedness."
"You can throw me out."
"Wouldn't want you to catch a cold and die."
"Ah, I forgot you were planning on doing the deed yourself."
"Not when you're naked in my bed."
"Seems like I found the safest place in Paris. The floor looks uncomfortable."
"It is."
"Why don't you come to bed?"
"Because there's a poisonous snake there waiting for me."
"You're exhausting I can't believe I married you once."
"You can't believe you married me? What are you doing?"
"I've taken a blanket, I don't think I could handle the floor without it. You can have your precious bed back."
"Are you taking over my floor now?"
"I even left you a pillow, just say thank you."
"Get up."
"No."
"I'm serious."
"Me too."
"Take the bed."
"I sleep where you sleep."
"God, I hope I am drunk and this is another one of those horrific dreams."
"You have dreams about me? Do tell?"
"Where's my sword?"
"I think you left if at the table. You can never find anything on your own, how do you even manage without me."
"This is stupid."
"I completely agree. The floor is extremely uncomfortable."
"Fine. Will you move to the bed if I share it with you?"
"Of course. But…"
"What now?"
"You're not going to sleep with your clothes on, are you?"
"Why are you intent on acting like this is somehow normal?"
"Because I want it to be."
"It doesn't make any sense."
"It does to me. I thought that maybe if we let the past go we could just learn to be us again."
"We were never us in the first place. We were me the fool and you the tramp who played me. That was all it was and it cost me everything."
"If that's what you tell yourself so you can sleep at night. Stop hovering, lie down already. I won't bite unless you ask me nicely."
"And what do you tell yourself so you can sleep at night?"
"That you were as blind to the truth then as you are now."
"There's no truth to you."
"No, not anymore. You made sure of it. Sleep, I'm exhausted."
"Finally you have nothing to say."
"I do, I just don't want to say it."
"Well I don't want to have you naked in my bed, do I?"
"Fine, I will leave."
"Not just yet."
"Let me go!"
"Tell me the truth."
"You're hurting me."
"The feeling is finally mutual. The truth, Anne."
"You don't want to know the truth! It's staring you in the face and you don't see it because you are too afraid to know."
"To know what?"
"That I loved you then and I love you now, you fool! What other reason could I have to be naked in your bed?"
"Plenty."
"Name one."
"…"
"Where are you going? Put down the bloody wine, it will kill you."
"So will you."
"No, not me. Never again. I'm sorry by the way."
"What for exactly? Go back to bed, your feet will get cold."
"For you know… Trying to kill you, threatening Constance. I wasn't going to hurt her, I just wanted a way out."
"You were going to hurt me though."
"Yes, I thought that was what I wanted."
"Wasn't it?"
"I already told you it wasn't. Did you miss the I love you now part? You were right by the way."
"About what?"
"My feet are cold indeed."
"Move over."
"What are you doing?"
"Warming your feet, what else?"
"Why?"
"Do I have to say it out loud?"
"No."
"Good."
