I agree that it is about some kind of affair or one night stand but I think it might be between two women.

She says "you're all legs". Not a term often used to describe a man.

She also refers to "your heels" and "my heels". Men don't usually wear heels.

Maybe that's why there is no kissing or names being exchanged, because they are ashamed of this thing they're doing. Even more than just having an affair or one night stand, they are also gay. And the white white shirt could represent being a "normal, good" person for everyone else out in the real world. And her hurt could be from hiding her true sexuality. So, in a way, for just a little while she is healed by being able to be her true self with this other woman she doesn't even know.

This could, of course, be completely wrong. I just thought it was fun trying to delve into what the meaning could really be.

I agree. It's a similar situation in Your Lips are Red, two women.
