Lesley And Audrey.mp4

Audrey – Go ahead. Lesley, Steve and I are worried about you. You know that we care very much about you and Rick. Yes, I know that. Why won’t you or Rick talk to us about your problems? Maybe we could help you figure this all out. Steve and I want to help you. Maybe I should tell you all about it but there really isn’t anything anybody can do to help. No, absolutely nothing. Lesley, are you saying that there is no possibility at all that you and Rick will get back together? Oh…I really don’t know. Maybe we will get back together – and maybe we won’t. At this very moment, we simply have too many problems. I guess only distance will help me to finally learn how to live alone. Maybe we will get back together – and maybe we won’t. But at this very moment, we simply have too many problems. I guess only distance will help me to finally learn how to live alone. It will not be simple at all. Audrey -- you're telling me?! The other day, I ran into Zelda Bernstein . – I think you know her – she also lives alone – and we talked at length about this Perhaps she can help you somehow. In any case, she certainly knows what it's like. But I really don’t know that anybody can help me with accepting that when I hold out my hand, nobody is there. Oh Lesley. He was always there – next to me – sleeping on the right side of the bed. And sometimes, when I can’t sleep or have a bad dream, I reach over to him and I wake up and it hits me like a clap of thunder I realize that Rick is not there. I am not speaking, you understand, really, about sex – I miss that, too, understandably. I am talking about – but without love and companionship, it is awful. And regardless of how lost and alone I feel without him, I must somehow learn how to live without Rick. Yes. I am a single woman now, and I must learn to accept that. I know that. Somehow. Of course you will. I cannot tell you how much courage I see in you. Lesley, please let me ask just one question. Tell me – --is there perhaps another woman? Is that the reason you two are no longer together? No. I wish this whole thing was that easy, but it’s not. I think if he found love elsewhere, I could bear that more easily. It would take some time, but I could certainly handle that. But our situation is much more complicated. Then I don’t understand, if there isn’t any… I know I shouldn’t have talked about it. Please Audrey. Let’s not talk about this anymore. Please. Don’t be angry. I hope you understand. I’ll go get some sugar.
