INT. APARTMENT BEDROOM - NIGHT #12#

Coats on the bed. Quieter in here. He steps inside, closes it most of the way. On the dresser: a paperback with a photo strip peeking out as a bookmark. He takes the book, pulls out the photo. Hannah and Julia in a booth, cheek to cheek. He stares at it thoughtfully.

JULIA (O.S.)

Can I help you?

He turns, caught, easing the strip back.

WILL

Sorry. Was looking for my coat.

JULIA

They're on the bed.

(seeing the strip)

You wanna put that back?

Will returns the book, ashamed.

WILL

I'm sorry. That wasn't...

JULIA

I don't believe we've met properly. Will, was it?

WILL

Yeah. You're Julia.

JULIA

I am.

A long, uncomfortable pause.

JULIA

Aren't you going to get your coat?

Another pause.

WILL

You know, I don't think it's here. Excuse me.

He walks out of the room as she stares at him.
