2023 Playwriting Every Day in November - Day 28

HANA
It’s strange to think that in a few days, I’ll be living with Perry and we’ll be married and I won’t have you as a roommate anymore.

MALLORY
It’ll be strange for me too. But he will make you so happy.

HANA
I know. We will build a good life together.

MALLORY
And I’ll be there to punch him in the face if he ever, ever hurts you.

HANA
Chou-chou, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
I will miss this place.

MALLORY
Well, as long as I have the lease, you are always welcome to visit.

HANA
Have you found a new roommate?

MALLORY
Not yet, but thanks to your husband-to-be’s generosity in paying for the rest of your share for the lease, I have some time. Don’t get me wrong, I will miss you, but I am also kind of excited to live alone for a bit.

HANA
You say that now, but once you have to cook for yourself…

MALLORY
I can live off grilled cheese and carrots just fine thank you.

HANA
My deepest regret is not teaching you how to make a single dish with vegatables.

MALLORY
You can only teach the willing.

HANA
True.

MALLORY
Speaking of your cooking…

HANA
There are leftovers in the fridge.

MALLORY
Perry is a lucky man.

HANA
And he knows it.
