Jake: You were supposed to be getting an early night.
Rowan: Oh – I didn’t realise the time. I was just looking at some of Sadie’s books.
Jake: Thought you weren’t interested in them?
Rowan: Well – I wasn’t, but I’m getting into them now. D’you read yours?
Jake: From cover to cover – twice. You’re feeling a lot happier now, aren’t you?
Rowan: Well, I feel a lot better now. It’s not that easy being happy about having a baby when you’ve got your head down the bog the whole time.
Jake: I know. Ro, I was thinking –
Rowan: God help us.
Jake: No, listen! I was talking to Effie today, about when she and Will went to East Leake, and I wondered if you might like to go.
Rowan: Oh! Well –
Jake: I thought it might do you good to have a little break. What do you think?
Rowan: It’s just – I said I was never going to go, because Jane said I was rude.
Jake: And you know why she said that?
Rowan: Um – because I was.
Jake: Well, you could say sorry for being arsey, couldn’t you, face to face?
Rowan: Yes – well, I think that would be really nice. You know it’s a long way though.
Jake: Yes, I know – but I’ll be driving. You can just relax and enjoy the scenery.
Rowan: Yes but what I mean is – you’ll have to stop every half hour for me to go to the loo.
Jake: That’s okay! So – you do want to go, then?
Rowan: Yeah – I’d really like that.
