Lia: Hi, Jeffrey.
Jeffrey: Hey.
Lia: I’ve been trying to come up with a name for your gallery. A coworker suggested one . . .
Jeffrey: I know. That’s not it.
Lia: Okay. What is it?
Silence.
Lia: Jeff?
Jeffrey: You’ll know when it’s the right one.
Lia: (Sighs.) All right. While I have you here, can I ask you something? What’s important to you?
Jeffrey: Why?
Lia: I’m trying to understand you better. You’ve been kind of elusive. I know Shay thinks so.
Jeffrey: She doesn’t get close to people.
Lia: That’s true. But in this case, I agree with her. You are elusive.
Jeffrey: (Pauses.) What you see is what you get.
Lia: (Files that for later consideration.) Uh huh. But what’s important to you?
Jeffrey: You already know.
Lia: Shay. The gallery.
Jeffrey: Right.
Lia: What else?
Jeffrey: {Editor’s note: Answer has been edited to avoid jinxing the name}
Lia: What do you mean by . . . hey. That would be an interesting name for a gallery. Cool. All right. Now, could you tell me a little more about yourself?
Silence.
Lia: Jeffrey? Where’d you go?
