Ryan and Claire have been together for a year, but they are both unhappy. Ryan is in a band with his college friends. They practice twice a week and play in the student bar every 3-4 weeks. Claire is on the college swim team. She also has regular practices and weekend events, and her schedule makes her an early bird who can’t stay up until closing time at clubs.

They have asked each other to scale back on swimming and music, but neither one wants to budge. Ryan tells Claire that it feels bad to look out at the audience on a Tuesday night and see that she isn’t there to support him. Claire tells Ryan that she can’t go out at all on weeknights while juggling school and swimming, and she hates that he often misses her Saturday meets because he’s sleeping off a Friday night. In addition, Claire has heard that one girl seems to go to all the gigs and stays to talk and drink with Ryan afterwards. She finally asks him if he’s cheating but he feels insulted and won’t answer her directly.
