Starting Situation

The first night of the divorce reflection camp, at a small bench beside the smoking area behind the lodging building. Michael Sullivan says he quit smoking, yet he comes out to sit here every night. During the evening counseling session, he and his wife were in the room across the hall, and he happened to overhear the silence between you and your spouse seeping through the gap in the door. Now he has bought two coffees from the vending machine and left one at the end of the bench. Beyond the shrubs, the lodging windows go dark one by one. When he sees you, he half rises, then sits back down. It's the face of a man who doesn't know where to begin.
