And a great many questions.What begins as harmless speculation quickly escalates into a verbal exchange of blows that grows increasingly heated. Suddenly, it is no longer just about the absent friends, but increasingly about the small, well-hidden cracks in their own relationship.The evening turns into a surprising test of endurance and reveals just how fragile supposed certainties really are.HE thinks he knows how the world works. SHE suspects that is rarely the case.
