Well, not very much really.

It could get dark really soon.

Look, um...

to be honest, I think we should probably

end up staying here the night.

I'm not sleeping here.

Come on, we have to get back to the van and

if we set off now we'll have plenty of time.

I'm sorry, I mean, without a compass or

a map we could get really lost around here.

You know, these tracks go round and round in

circles. We could end up lost in the woods,

having to eat each other,

cut our own arms off.

Seriously, though, okay,

we've got a roof over our heads here,

we've got a fire, we've got some water,

we got some food, and we've got each other.

I mean, come on, it's going to be

pretty romantic, don't you think?

Look, we haven't even got

any sleeping bags and...

as for this bench come bed thing...

We don't need sleeping bags, we've got

these blankets here to keep us warm,

we can use our backpacks as pillows.

Come on, it will be an adventure.

Look, I know you're going through

emotional roller coaster right now, okay?

But if you don't let me, I can't help you.

All right, I'm here for you,

you know that, yeah?

I'm sorry.

Look, my head's just all over

the place at the moment.

I know how hard you're trying. I do.

It's okay. You're just tired, that's all.

Okay, look... I'll get a fire going,

you get a bed made up and then tomorrow

I promise we'll leave first thing

and we'll spend all day in a really

boring girly clothes shop for you.

Okay? Come on, chop to it.

I'm pregnant.

Eight weeks. Do you really think

that we're ready to have a child?

I've already made

an appointment at the clinic.

My mind is made up and I'm not keeping it.

Rose, you f***ing have

an abortion... we're through.

It's my decision.

Theo.

Theo.

Hello. You're up?

- Yeah.

- What are you doing?

Nothing. Just thinking.

Okay, about what?

Nothing.

Yeah, you can't be thinking about nothing.

- Come on, what is it?

- It's nothing interesting.

Yeah, okay, that's for me

to decide, though, no?

Come on, what's up?

You've been weird since you got here.

It's nothing.

I'm just tired.

I couldn't sleep in there,

the itchy blankets and the smoke.

I had a terrible nights sleep

and I just needed some fresh air.

That's all, it's no big deal.

Did you have another nightmare?

I don't remember.

Look, it doesn't matter, all right?

The mist has gone.

We're both up so let's just get away

from here and get back to the van.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

I'm just...

I'm just tired. I need a cup of tea,

shower and a proper bed.

Are you sure that's it?

Yeah, come on. Let's just get going, okay?

Ah. The very people I'm looking for.

I think this may be yours.

- Hah.

- Where did you get that?
