Chess in the Park
Excerpt
MIRA
I remember your letters. You’ve been writing to him?
LANDON
When I have time.
A pause
LANDON (CONT’D)
I’ve been writing more lately, there’s not much else to do.
MIRA
What do you write about?
LANDON
I ask him how he’s doing.
MIRA
That’s it?
Landon looks up.
MIRA (CONT’D)
I thought there would’ve been more. You used to write me pages. It was so confusing, not hearing a word for hours, and then seeing one of your letters on the kitchen table.
LANDON
I write him pages.
MIRA
Does he respond?
