Can I just talk for a second?

Can I just... Can we

just back up?

Because things have gotten

a little bit extreme.

I'm really, really sorry

that you found out about this and that you

feel that I was deceiving you in any way.

But, please...

Chloe, it's not what you think.

I don't know what I want.

I just know that I need space.

Come on.

I need space.

Just give me that.

Chlo...

Chloe.

Oh, yeah, you're right.

Your move?

Yeah, no.

Yeah it is.

Oh, no, no.

Um...

It's your turn still.

You have another, um...

Perfect, perfect.

So I can use that...

Hey.

Hey.

Um... I think you have

another move.

I need to talk to you, okay?

Look.

I'm in the middle

of something right now.

I wanna talk to you too,

but we'll do it later, okay?

Is that your move?

Yeah, that one's blocking...

Hey, Chloe.

Hey.

Did you do that?

Yeah.

That's beautiful.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, looks just like Jaime.

- You think?

- Yeah, I do.

He must've been thrilled.

Yeah, I think he liked it.

I think I'm gonna

give it to him.

Good. Good.

Anyway, I have to go.

Okay.

Small.

Backwards?

Yes.

Good job.

Who's next?

John's next.

- Farm boy?

- Yeah, farm boy.

Landlocked.

That's right.

Landlocked farm boy

ends up at sea.

Well, I shouldn't think it was

the first time it's happened.

Hmm.

Ever married?

Yeah.

I was, once.

What was her name?

Doesn't really matter,

does it? I...

Not anymore.

I can't...

Come in.

It's me. Can I still come in?

Sure.

- Can I sit down?

- Yeah, what's up?

Just wanted to chat.

About what?

Just missed you.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah, everything's...

Everything's fine.

- I feel I owe you an explanation.

- Okay.

Things got a little bit

out of control earlier.

It was just

a big misunderstanding.

To be honest,

I think you over reacted before I

had a chance to really explain.

Look, Peter, did you come here to

apologize or tell me how to behave?

Chlo, can we just cut through

some of these problems

and deal with them

when we get home?

No.

Why not?

Well...

Because it's not

just about the book deal.

- Okay, I mean...

- Is that what you thought?

Oh, my God, Chloe, okay.

So what else is it about?

- Come here.

- Peter, come on.

- Come here.

- Stop it. Peter. Stop.

- Baby, I miss you so much.

- Peter!

I'm sorry, it doesn't

work like that.

I mean, let's be honest,

you didn't come in here to apologize.

You didn't come in here to say,

"Oh, I feel terrible,

I want to know what you're going through."

You think I'm being childish,

you think this is a game.

You aren't going to trek

across the poles anyway.

What do you mean?

- What do you mean?

- You're a writer, Peter.
