A woman challenges her husband on his decision to have a female friend stay over.

Synopsis
Evening dinner with husband and wife Nick and Mia. Mia breaks the silence to ask Nick when his friend Kristen is coming over. He happily answers the question, then apologizes for not letting Mia know sooner. Mia challenges him on this; she believes he’s known Kristen’s arrival time sooner but just decided to tell her now. Nick defends himself, saying it’s simply a friend who asked for a last-minute favor. Mia expresses doubt that his motivations for Kristen coming over are purely platonic. The game of chess continues until one of them lets their true feelings out in full painful honesty. This conversation explores the nuances of having a difficult conversation with someone you love but are deeply upset with at the same time.
