The Gift Page #4

Synopsis: Simon and Robyn are a young married couple whose life is going just as planned until a chance encounter with an acquaintance from Simon's high school sends their world into a harrowing tailspin. Simon doesn't recognize Gordo at first, but after a series of uninvited encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from the past is uncovered after more than 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?

have to do it again.

- I just feel bad.

- Yeah.

Can I have that sponge, please?

Aren't you forgetting something?

Simon says.

No.

Introduce you to some

of the members of the team.

- You might recognize your new bosses.

- Hi.

They wanted to be here

to welcome you in person,

but they are in Tokyo

looking to expand the empire.

Danny!

How are you?

- Simon, this is Danny McDonald.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- He runs Legal.

Simon. This is my wife, Robyn.

- Robyn, hi.

- And his lovely wife, Gina.

It's Janine, actually,

but she'll answer to anything.

Great.

Guys, let me bring you

through to meet my wife.

- Nice to meet you guys.

- Good to see you, Danny.

- Hey, so this... Guys, this is my wife. Duffy.

- Hi.

Hi. I've heard

so much about you.

Hi there, Duffy, my wife, Robyn.

- Hello, Robyn.

- Hello, you're so pretty.

- Hi, there.

- And this is, of course, Wendy Dale.

She's spearheading

Mergers and Acquisitions.

- Can I grab two of those?

- Here.

Let's kick this party off with a

toast here to welcome the new blood.

I don't actually...

She's the designated driver, so...

I'm so sorry.

I'll take it. Two for me.

Or you can take it.

There we go.

What do you do, Robyn?

She's a brilliant designer, right?

Tell them. Brag.

Brag a little bit.

She's very, very good.

No, I freelance

a little for consulting firms.

She's being modest.

She was running

a big firm in Chicago,

which is happening

online for the moment,

and she's designing the interiors of

the home we just moved into right now.

- That's a big job.

- Yeah. Great. Great.

We're also very busy working on

trying to start a family,

- and that takes a lot of time.

- Oh.

- Congratulations.

- Yeah.

Oh.

What do you think?

Very nice.

Isn't it?

- Yeah.

- You should see upstairs.

You should see Kevin's

office. That's nice.

- Uh-huh.

- But this is, it's pretty great.

Yeah. Here they are.

I cannot believe these

guys are your bosses.

You are my boss, honey.

Let's be clear.

These guys just run

the billion dollar company I work for.

You know they've been multimillionaires

since they were teenagers? Mmm-hmm.

Crazy.

Yeah, once upon a time,

the crusty old men ran the companies

and the teenagers

were down in the mail room.

And now it's the total opposite.

But I'm going to make it

upstairs before I'm too old,

as long as Kevin

sticks to his plan

of moving on at

the end of the year.

Then I get a little bit of consulting

expertise from you, I'll be all set.

Keep growing the beard.

Start wearing sneakers to work.

- Maybe get a tattoo.

- Yeah.

All good ideas.

I'd look good in

those glasses, I think.

Hey, do you really not

want me to go back to work?
