Sadie: I’ll just shift these…sorry we can’t go in the living room, darling, but it’s a bit of a mess in there at the moment…
Rowan: Right…well, I can see you’re busy, I won’t keep you long.
Sadie: Don’t be silly – sit yourself down! Is that comfortable?
Rowan: Yeah – um – just wanted to say sorry about the other day, really. The dress fitting.
Sadie: Oh you silly thing, you said sorry at the time!
Rowan: Well…it’s sorry for lots of things really. I’ve been so wrapped up in myself lately, and you’ve got so much going on with the wedding, and I’ve been no help at all.
Sadie: You’ve had a lot on your plate too, though, haven’t you, with Jake Junior giving you a rough time.
Rowan: And I’ve given Jake senior a hard time.
Sadie: Well, I’m sure he understands!
Rowan: Doesn’t mean I didn’t hurt him. And I must have hurt your feelings too, being so wrapped up in myself.
Sadie: Oh nonsense! You know me – I’m indestructible! Anyway you can give me a hand now, if you like?
Rowan: Yeah sure – um – what exactly are you trying to do?
Sadie: Well, I started off trying to start my honeymoon packing…
Sadie: – then I sort of got sidetracked into having a wardrobe clear-out –
Sadie: and then I started thinking about what to do about my bedroom…
Rowan: What do you mean? You redecorated it not long ago, what do you want to do to it now?
Sadie: But it’s not really finished, darling! I need a headboard, and pictures, and – I don’t know, a bit more fluff and sparkle – and Dan is hopeless with that sort of thing. You have no idea how lucky you are to have a man who is interested in interior design.
Rowan: I don’t know when I’m well off, do I? So – which bit did you actually want help with – packing, sorting, or fluff and sparkle?
Sadie: Oh – I don’t really know, darling, I don’t know where to start…
Rowan: You’re trying to do too many things at once! Let’s look at one thing at a time, shall we? It would be better to do that packing first, just in case you find you need to do more shopping.
Sadie: Oh yes – that’s the best idea.
Sadie: You know, you can be very sensible sometimes, Ro – you’re very good at sorting people out. That will come in handy when you’re a mum!
Rowan: Yeah well – I think I’m always better at giving advice than following it…
