Niamh: I’m glad I brought my warm socks; it’s a bit chilly now.
Tom: It’ll be nice and warm in that sleeping bag!
Tom: Hey, we should see if anyone else fancies a camping trip later in the year, it would be fun.
Niamh: Well you know for sure that Cherry won’t want to come – she won’t go anywhere she can’t plug in her hair straighteners! Who else are you thinking of asking – Barney and Imogen?
Tom: Yeah, I thought that would be nice – we haven’t seen them in ages. And Lizzie likes camping – maybe Robin would like to come too?
Niamh: I don’t imagine it’s the sort of holiday he’s used to…but yeah, he might enjoy it…
Tom: You still think of him as living the high life! He’d be happy to rough it for a few days.
Niamh: Tom – how do you think things will work out, with Robin and Lizzie?
Tom: How do you mean?
Niamh: Well – he does seem like a nice kid, but…I just worry a bit about Lizzie. She’s so young, and he seems to need such a lot of looking after. It’s all a bit
one-sided, isn’t it?
Tom: Yeah, but he’s just had a bit of a rough patch, hasn’t he? He’s getting through it now. Anyway, Lizzie likes having someone to look after – and it’s not all
left to her, we all help him out, don’t we?
Niamh: Yeah – I guess so.
Tom: Don’t you like him, Niamh?
Niamh: Oh I do! But it’s just a bit weird for me – I used to have his picture over my bed, I had a huge crush on him! It’s difficult, reconciling that image with how
he is in real life…
Niamh: It’s hard to think he’s the same person, he seems so young and vulnerable – and then sometimes I just see little flashes of the boy from my poster – it’s just a bit freaky.
Tom: Well – I was never a fan of This Place, so it’s easy for me to just see him as an ordinary kid. That’s how you need to think of him.
Niamh: Yeah, I know…I do, most of the time.
Niamh: And I know Lizzie will be really good for him.
Tom: Yeah – she will. They’ll be a great team, just like us!
Niamh: Hey, I’m tired and it’s really nippy now the sun’s going down – I know it’s early, but let’s go and snuggle up in that sleeping bag!
Tom : You get in there and warm it up – I’ll just make sure the fire’s out.
Niamh: Don’t be long!
Tom: I love being out in the country – you get such great views…
