We Need to Talk Characters: Zoe Bloom, Partner (Alex) Setting: Living room, late evening Scene opens. Zoe sits on the edge of the couch, hands clasped. Alex walks in, sensing tension.

(takes a breath) "I’ve been feeling like we’re going through the motions. The physical part… it’s still there. But the talk after? The look in your eyes the next morning? That’s been missing."

"Okay. I’m listening."

"You texted 'we need to talk.' That’s never good." EroticaX.20.01.15.Zoe.Bloom.We.Need.To.Talk.XXX...

(small smile) "That’s all I wanted."

"I think we’re both scared to say what we really want. Not just in bed — but after. The quiet. The trust. The knowing someone won’t leave when the scene ends." We Need to Talk Characters: Zoe Bloom, Partner

(meets their eyes) "I need you to stay. Not just for the next round. For the conversation. For the morning coffee. For the weird, boring, beautiful in-between."
