Bedtime Conversation

Kate got into bed to work a few more puzzles before going to sleep.

KATE: “I like it here.”

RICHARD: “I do too.”

Five Minutes Later

KATE: “What’s the name of this hotel?”

RICHARD: “This is our house.”

KATE: “You could have fooled me.”

Another Five Minutes Later

KATE: “I just like your being here even if we aren’t talking.”

RICHARD: “Me, too. It would be lonely without you.”

KATE: “Do you know my name?”

RICHARD: “Yes. Do you?”

KATE: “Kate. What is your name?”

RICHARD: “Richard.”

KATE: “Oh, I knew that. I just couldn’t think of it.”
