No.

Did you tell him?

Of course not.

I sew a lot.

And order clothes and wigs online.

I dream of real women's stores.

Shopping, trying out large sizes.

But I've never dared.

Laura had so many clothes.

Take what you like.

What about you?

They're mostly small sizes.

Too small for me.

- Do you wear this?

- I'd love to.

It's too hot to wear inside.

I'll let out the shoulders.

Works, doesn't it?

Not bad.

But I'm against fur.

This one's long dead.

Belonged to my mother.

And you kept it?

To remember her by.

I loved my mother.

I kept some dresses too.

- Is she the reason?

- The reason?

Why you dress like a woman?

I don't think so.

I loved dressing up as a kid.

But not in her clothes.

Well, sometimes her lingerie.

She wanted a daughter.

No, she loved having a son.

So did my father.

- Sh*t!

- Who is it?

My mother-in-law.

Claire!

Hello, Liz.

What a nice surprise.

I came to watch Lucie.

How sweet of you to help.

I brought her a present.

How nice.

She's napping right now.

- How's David?

- Fine.

- He's resting?

- No, showering.

Showering, now?

I think so. He'll join us.

I still can't wrap my mind around it.

How are you?

It's hard.

You should come to church.

It'd do you good to talk, and pray.

It helps me a lot.

Maybe.

What a lovely couple they were.

Robert and I have decided

to leave everything to David,

so he can raise her comfortably.

That's nice.

He has no savings,

and his parents weren't wealthy.

Hi Liz, sorry.

How are you?

I'm so glad to see you.

How are you?

Lipstick!

What's the matter?

What's wrong?

Must be something he ate.

Poor dear,

he's really not doing well.

Sorry.

Have some hot tea.

I need something stronger.

And Lucie?

How is she?

She's great.

Thanks to Claire.

She helps me a lot.

Laura could always count

on her best friend.

Thank you.

I have some errands to run.

- So soon?

- I'm meeting Gilles for lunch.

Goodbye, dear.

Give my love to your darling husband.

I'll show you out.

Thank you, Claire.

I forgot to tell you...

What?

Don't use Laura's number anymore.

I deleted it.

Wearing a dress?

- No good?

- It's just been awhile.

For our night on the town!

- What?

- Looks good on you.

Hold still.

What're you doing?

Like it?

I look like an old whore!

No, you're sexy.

So you found a babysitter?

Better. Lucie's with my in-laws.

For a week.

I need a little time to myself.

Just what I told Claire.

- Time is important.

- It scares me.

Why?

Lucie keeps me too busy to think.

Now I'll be alone.

On my own, without Laura.

I can't do it.

Sure you can.

And we're here for you.

Right, Claire?

Of course.

- Ready to order?
