Paper Napkins (Reprise)

Tired of hearing, but being deaf. Tired of listening to a voice that was really saying nothing at all, a man grabs a pen and scribbles on a piece of wrinkled paper napkin:

WILL THIS TORTURE EVER END?

A second hand grabs the paper napkin. It is almost like the hand of a little princess, but the owner of that hand is a woman now. And she reads the paper napkin. Suddenly, she grabs the pen, and, with an almost frightening rage, crosses out the word "torture" until it becomes unrecognizable.
Then, she gives the napkin to the first man so that he can read it. After he does, he looks at her right in the eye, but does not see the usual cheerfulness she tries to express. He sees heartbreak.
