Following the death of Collin from AIDS, his ex-wife Marion and his lover Arthur meet, supposedly to sign documents. Over the period of the play they become aware of each others need - and right - to grieve. Warm and funny sharing of memories of their common lover  are interspersed with deeply moving moments; Arthur reliving Collin's dying, and the realization that the specter of AIDS will haunt one of them for ever.
