Guilty Pleasures

A confident young girl is having an affair with a married man. Their relationship is passionate, animalesque, risky, exciting. Although she loves the feeling of excitement of having this secret purely physical relationship, she is still longing for a deeper connection. She is also feeling guilty about being the "other woman". She knows she needs more and she knows that what she is doing is wrong, but the excitement of this secret and passionate affair is addicting to her.
After her lover leaves, she is having a smoke in solitude, hidden in darkness, contemplating her life choices.
