Wow.

Massive. Yeah.

The mothership.

For me, it was always

gonna be about love.

And that summer I walked

into the eye of the storm.

Her name was Charlotte.

Cousin of Kit Kat's

handsome but

nasty boyfriend Jimmy.

And she was staying

for two whole months.

Just one. Not both of them.

Tim,

will you do my back?

Absolutely!

Very keen!

Whoa! No. No.

No. No, no. No, no, no.

Is it in my hair? Yes!

Tim. Will you do my back?

Sure. Just give us a sec.

Okay.

Thank you.

Now...

Ooh. Nice.

?t's my area.

it was a summer of

suntan and torture.

I invited my foolish friend

Jay around for tennis

because I thought

he'd make me look good.

I was wrong!

What are you doing? No.

Charlotte just made both

of us look like idiots.

Bad luck, Tim.

How the hell are you meant

to concentrate on your game?

How are you meant

to live your life

with this sort of

sh*t going down?

It never got better

until suddenly

it was almost too late.

Well, Charlotte,

our final lunch.

No!

And it's been really, really

lovely having you all summer.

it has.

Thank you.

Thank you.

?t really has.

Hasn't it, Desmond?

Beg your pardon?

Lovely having

Charlotte here all summer.

Charlotte? Who's Charlotte?

Come on, darling. Charlotte,

sitting next to you.

Yes, of course. Of course.

Charlotte. Hi.

Lovely to meet you.

Have you enjoyed having

Charlotte here all summer, Tim?

Yeah.

There goes August.

I've introduced him to

most things, haven't I?

You did. You were

much more sophisticated.

In a quiet way,

I like to think.

Come in.

Charlotte. Yeah!

As it's your last night,

can I ask you a question?

Yeah. Ask away.

No, wait.

?t's not going to

be about love, is it?

Love? What?

Well, it's just that Kit Kat warned me that

if you were to ever mention it, I should be

very firm with you and tell you

you must treat me

like your sister

and not be stupid.

Or have I just made

a total fool of myself

and you were actually

going to ask me for

late night last

minute tennis tips?

No, it was the love thing.

Well.

That's very sweet of you.

?t's just a shame you

left it till the last night.

You should have tried creeping along

the corridor while we still had time.

Okay, the ?'last night?'

was a bad idea?

Very bad idea. it feels like an ever

so slightly insulting afterthought.

?'Last night?' was

never going to work.

All right. Good. I've got it.

Come in.

Tim. Hi. Charlotte.

Hi. Sit down.

I know you've

probably suspected this,

but over the last month I've fallen

completely in love with you.

Now obviously

this was gonna happen

because you're

a goddess with that face

and that hair,

but even if you

didn't have a nice face,
