Love of My Life Page #2

---

What's he like?

Well, he's a writer.

Oh, sh*t.

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

He's nothing like-

and I-I know you won't

have time to meet him this-

this week, but I'm-

I'm sure you'd love him.

I have time.

Really?

Shouldn't you be flying to Machu Picchu?

Machu Picchu?

Yeah, remember when we-

we made you go to Disneyland?

You kept saying that you'd always dreamt

of going to Machu Picchu

and here you were

in f***ing Disneyland.

Well, that was years ago,

and I'm not going anywhere.

Well,

you know what I mean.

I would love to meet him.

I just want you to see what an amazing job

you did as a mother.

Zoe's got that fantastic new career,

and I found my soulmate.

[Melodic Piano]

What shall I read?

Middlemarch.

[Sighs]

A good 899 pages.

It's too long.

[Sighs]

I know what I don't

want to read.

What's the shortest?

[Clicking Tongue]

Hi, I was ah...

You know, I'd quite like to ah...

I mean, if you would, um.

I know we haven't, uh,

been doing it much lately,

uh, which is probably

my fault, but um.

You know, my back's a lot better,

and um,

I just don't want you to die

wishing you'd had more sex,

which is apparently quite common.

At the same time, I don't

want you to think that

I'm the kind of man who would

force a dying woman to-

[Stammers]

[Clears Throat]

Tom:
And it's not because, uh,

I'm facing the fact that

I might have to spend

the rest of my life without sex.

No, no, no, no.

That's-that's, no.

No, this is-

this is really just

not about me.

No, so-

I'm just letting you know that, uh,

anytime you want,

I am available,

not now, I would

guess, from your face.

You know, that's fine,

you read your book.

That's fine, that's fine.

But, uh,

anytime in the next

24, 48 hours,

I'm here for you.

Also 72 hours.

How many nights home do you have left?

- Four.

- Four!

Four, that's loads of time, four.

Yeah, or-or-or

cuddles.

Cuddles, too, all the cuddles you want.

And if the cuddles lead to sex,

yay!

[Dog Barking]

You

are the love of my life.

How dare you come here?

Why, I had to come.

You did not have to come.

Our daughter needed me.

She's been sobbing all

the way here on the plane.

- Zoe's here?

- Of course Zoe's here.

Oh god, Kaitlyn must have called her.

Richard:
She's gone straight to bed.

She said you'd need your sleep but-

So you crawl into my bed?

You're still a beautiful woman, Gracie.

Grace:
I am calling a cab.

You need to go to a hotel.

No, I'm not going anywhere.

I'm not leaving.

Never again, never.

Grace, are you speaking?

Uh huh.

Richard.

- Hi.

- Yeah, hi, Tom.

Wow.

Uh, I heard voices, but uh-

well, I didn't expect to see you.

Really, Tom? Really?

Yeah, yeah.
