RYN
Oh my god, what is your issue!

WILLOW
Have you seriously not been listening to me? I keep repeating it!

RYN
Yea, that's the issue! I stop listening when you start bitching at me

WILLOW
No, the issue is that you are always running away from your problems! Stand up for yourself for once, goddamnit!

RYN
Are you trying to tell me to stand up for myself? I can't just face the world and scream my issues to it like you do! I can't just tell my boss to go fuck himself, we need the money he provides!

WILLOW
Then find a new job that makes money! I'm sick of you not doing anything when he treats you like shit and I--

RYN
That's how you're treating me right now!

RYN and WILLOW go silent. They shift away from each other. WILLOW sneezes and goes into a coughing fit.

WILLOW
I'm sor--, I didn't mean to make you feel that way, I just wanted...

RYN
I know.

[RYN gets up to leave.]

WILLOW
Where are you going?

RYN
You have a cold, I'm going to get you some soup and tampons..you mentioned you were out this morning.

WILLOW
Chicken noodle soup?

RYN
Of course, I wouldn't dream of getting you anything else.

RYN smiles, grabs his keys and gently closes the door.

WILLOW
Please don't leave me

WILLOW cries
