Transcript for Keeping in Touch #4 - In Public

Rachel: It’s an odd kind of place to meet…by your house…I’ve never been.

Tom: Well, it’s within reasonable reach, and I thought it safe. No one likely to know us here.

Rachel: Yes, but then there’s a risk if we run into anyone we know. They’ll wonder what we’re up to.

Tom: And we’ll be up to…?

Rachel: Tom, you know perfectly well…

Tom: They’ll think the worst, is that what you mean?

Rachel: That we’re having an affair.

Tom: Is that the worst, then?

Rachel: Oh, don’t tease me. No, it’s not the worst in any sense.

Tom: Oh, we are not, darling -

Rachel: Tom, come on, let’s eat!

Tom: That’s why we’re here! So I can touch you. No one will care, or notice who we are.

Rachel: We’re still in public, Tom.

Tom: (exasperated) Raaah.

Rachel: I know, I know. Seriously. I only feel safe when we’re alone. In private.

Tom: Do you want me to arrange that?

Rachel: The fact is I look forward to meeting you so much, and then feel, well…awkward. I’m starting to think about you all the time. I think about you…too much.

Tom: Don’t say that, too much. I’m pleased you do. I adore you, Rachel.

Rachel: So yes, it is a kind of affair. It’s odd though, cuz haven’t really been close, or intimate, have we?

Tom: But we’d like to.

Rachel: Yes, we would. I would.

Tom: So…it’s infidelity in the head.

Rachel: Maybe it’s the best kind, for now anyway.
