The Secrets

OK, good.

Come here, come here.

Oh! You got a kiss.

Oh!

Miss you.

Group hug. I'll miss you, too.

Love you. Love you.

Shall we wave, then?

Bye-bye.

Bye, Becs. Bye, Lex. See you soon.

Love you. See you soon.

Quick, quick, before he goes.

Is he waving? Can you see?

Can you see? Yeah.

Bye. Bye. Bye-bye, bye. Bye. Bye.

Is he waving? Mmm-hmm.

Oh, there we go, we got a wave. Yeah.

Bye!

We could have a little friend here, as well,

for the fireman. What do you think?

Maybe it's the fireman's dog. Yeah.

The snake looks like he's about to eat the grasshopper.

PHONE RINGS Doesn't he?

Hello? 'Hello, this is Grove Street Surgery.

'Is that Mrs Turner speaking?' Yes.

'Can I speak to Mr Turner, please?'

No, I'm afraid he's away at the moment. Can I take a message?

'Your husband wanted to know the results of a blood test we did.'

Sorry, where are you calling from?

'Calling from Grove Street Surgery. A Mr Turner asked us to call.'

'It's about the results of the test that we did on your son, Freddie.'

Who?

Lex, have you seen my glasses?

Um... Has Becca been wearing them again, or..?

They're probably in your coat pocket. No, I've looked.

Looked in every... Yeah, well done.

Every time you do that.

What's the matter? Nothing.

Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine.

I've just got a bit of a headache, that's all. Oh. I'm fine.

All right, well, take a pill.

OK. I'm off. When are you back?

Thursday. Cool.

Love you.

Love you, too.

See you Thursday.

Yep.

Bye, Lexie.

Bye.

'You have one new message.'

'Hi, darling, it's me. I'm here, everything's all right.

'I'm just calling to, to hear your voice, really.

'If you get this... in the next hour or so, give us call.

'Otherwise I'd better go to bed cos I've got a big day tomorrow.

'But, er, if not, I'll call you tomorrow morning.

'All right? I miss you.

'Give Becca a kiss from me, and I...I love you.

'I love you so much. Miss you. Talk to you tomorrow. Bye.'

And we are going to do a tiny bit

um...of maths and English.

Only with counting and letters.

And there's a dressing-up box for playing a game.

DOOR OPENS

Hi.

Hiya.

Where've you been, nursery? Yeah.

How's Becca? Fine. What are you doing back?

They cancelled my last presentation, so...I took an early plane.

I wasn't expecting you back.

Well, lucky me!

Is everything all right?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Everything all right?

Yeah, why?

What? What's wrong?

Do you want a glass of wine?

Now?

Yeah.

Yeah.

OK. OK.

SHE EXHALES

Have you ever been in counselling before, Jane?

No.

So, what would be great in this first session is just to find out

a little bit more about you, and, er...what's brought you here.

Whether it's a particular relationship in your life

that's brought you here.

Just some background

and then we can explore the details a little further down the line.

Um...

It's hard to know where to start, really.

Are you in a relationship now?

Yeah.

Can you tell me a little bit more about that relationship?

Um...

Well... SHE CLEARS THROAT

We're, um...

I thought we were really...

I thought we were really happy.

I thought, um...

Where's George?

Where's George?

KNOCK ON DOOR Er, sorry, darling,

I'm just popping out for about half an hour with Freddie.

Thanks, Philip. I'll see you in a bit. Bye. Love you.

Sorry.

So you were saying you have a good relationship.

FRONT DOOR CLOSES

Who was that?

It's, um...my partner.

Sorry.

Are you OK?

SHUDDERING BREATHS

There are some tissues on the table if you need one.

Oh!

Hello.

Hello.

What are you doing sitting on top of the stairs?

Nothing.

What's wrong?

I'm fine.

You all right?
