Angel of Mine

Just a second!

Okay, I'm just trying to help you.

- Where are you? - Almost home.

I told you I had a dinner meeting.

I know.

I'm turning onto the street now, okay?

Do you see me?

Jesus, slow down!

You can always just leave him in the apartment.

He's a big boy, you know?

Leave him in the apartment?

Is that how you want to spend your week together?

Come on, baby.

Hold on a second.

This is for you.

Go upstairs, baby. Can I see--

Upstairs, Thomas.

Gee. See you later, pal.

Full custody?

It's with visitation. I'm not trying to take him out of your life.

You know this was coming.

You have no grounds.

I want what's best for my son.

Our son. Don't we both want that?

We do alternate weeks. We agreed.

Yeah, we've been through all this.

In high school, he's going to need a solid base.

Half the kids in that school have divorced parents.

Half the kids in the fucking world.

Yep. Yeah,

but you haven't been doing so great.

Wow.

He feels your darkness, Lizzie.

My darkness?

Come on. Look,

I know you want him in as stable a situation as possible.

I have to work half a day tomorrow.

Again?

Yeah. So Grandma will take you to Sam's party.

And I'll come later.

Do you want to do this?

Can I? Yeah.

Now just take the price tag off.

I'm gonna get us some dinner ready, okay?

Yeah.

- -

Hey, Mom, can I have a party like this someday?

Uh, sure. Why not?

Really? Maybe even in a house like this.

Ten, nine, eight,

seven, six, five, four,

three, two, one.

Ready or not, here I come!

- Boo! -

- Oh, no! - Oh, don't panic. It's all right.

Can't sit back and watch an innocent skirt die.

Oh. Here you go.

I'm Claire.

I'm Lizzie. Thanks.

No worries.

Who was that little girl?

Which one?

Really pretty.

Big brown eyes.

Long hair. She was in a pink dress.

I think that's Jeremy's sister.

Do you know her name?

Who?

Jeremy's little sister.

No.

No, why would you?

Come on.

Let's have an early one, love. Teeth, toilet, bed.

Three, two, one.

Ready or not, here I come!

It's so good. I'm so excited.

I haven't seen her for ages.

Bye! Bye, Lola!

Lola!

Hi! Hi!

- Come on! - Yeah, coming.

What do you want for afternoon tea?

- Muffins? - Oh, yeah?

- Yeah. - Muffins, huh?

- - Yes.

When you're on the right wing, which is

- sometimes where you play, I know... -

- ...you've gotta cross the ball... - Hey, guys.

- Oh, hello. - Hi.

Good. You started without me.

When the roast comes out of the oven, we eat.

We're starving.

Hey, Trouble.

You taking it easy on Mom and Dad?

- Yeah. - We'll talk tactics later, okay?

- Cool. -

There you go.

Oh, thanks.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, listen, um,

can you have Thomas tomorrow night?

Of course, Gumman.

And what have you got on?

Oh.

I know it's kind of last minute, but, um, I have a date.

- Oh. Like to stay tomorrow, Tommy? - Yeah, sure.

Tell me, who is he? How did you meet?

Alice set it up. It's just-- It's just a date.

Mm. Really?

Everything starts with a date.

Good for you, Lizzie.

- -

Mum!

Mummy!

Mommy!

Mom!

I've got you!

Hold onto me!

Go away!

I'm just trying to help!

No!

Do you want to light the candles?

We need to remember her.

Hi.

Claire. It's Claire, right?

Yeah. Sorry, I forget your name.

Um, oh, Lizzie. From Sam's birthday party.

You saved my skirt.

Oh, yes. Hi. Hi.

I saw this place listed online, and I thought I'd check it out.

- What a coincidence it's you. - I know.

So you guys are leaving?

Yeah, I'm afraid so.

We're moving all the way over to Perth.

It's all happening really fast.

Are you in the market?

Well, I mean, if the right thing comes around.

Just love this neighborhood. Yeah, it's great.

Thomas. I got the new Act Of War. Wanna play?

- Oh, Mom, please? - Oh, Thomas, I'm sure they are--

It's totally fine. He can stay and play.

Oh, no, I don't wanna impose. Oh, it's okay.

It's like the planet's arranging a play date.

Please, Mom? Can he?

I mean, if it's no problem. I...

Sure, why not? Um... But I won't stay, though. I've got some errands to do.

You go do them. I'll keep my eye on these two.

Okay, so what if I'm back in, let's say, an hour?

Yeah, great. We'll be here. Okay.

Let me take that, baby.

Have fun. I will. See ya, Mom.

Bye. Bye!

Hi. Hi.

I hope he wasn't too much trouble.

Not at all. Thomas, your mum's here!

Hmm. Oh, wow.

Look at those ceilings.

I would totally invite you in,

but I have to take Lola to dance practice.

Oh, I didn't mean to impose...

If I wasn't in such a rush, I would.

I was just thinking maybe I should

bring my husband around, to come and look at the place.

Hey.

Or should I go through an agency, or...

Uh, no, no, we can just go direct

if you're really interested.

Yeah, that would be great.

Okay, uh, why don't you

put your number in my phone, and I can text you some times

for later this week? Sure.

- And bring Thomas. -

He and Jeremy had a terrific time.

Don't forget your swimsuit. You can test out the pool.

Cool. Thank you. Yeah?

Thank you. See you. Bye.

See you. Cool, see you.

So you're half Swedish, half English?

Yeah.

My mom is Swedish. My dad is English.

I grew up in Stockholm.

So how long have you been single?

Oh, I don't think of myself that way.

I thought you were...

Oh, I am divorced.
