Rowan: Oh that’s a nice one…
Jake: That was in Jersey – they had their honeymoon there and they always wanted to go back but there was never much money. So as soon as I started earning enough, I took them, every year. Even when I was married – Sharon didn’t want to come with us, though. I didn’t mind.
Jake: Thanks for this, Rowan. I wouldn’t have done it on my own. It’s been good looking at all these.
Rowan: Well, sometimes you just need to get the shit stuff over and done with; then you can enjoy the nice stuff.
Jake: You have such a way with words…
Rowan: I have a poetic soul. What’s in here?
Jake: Oh, Mum’s jewellery. She didn’t wear it much – she just liked to get it out and look at it. Let’s see…it’s mostly costume jewellery…
Jake: Oh – I forgot I put those in here – their wedding rings.
Rowan: You sure you’re okay with doing this?
Jake: Yeah, yeah – c’mon, let’s see what else there is.
Rowan: Oh, a charm bracelet! I have a charm bracelet. I haven’t got any new charms for ages though…
Jake: You could never wear them, could you? It would weigh your arm down. Dad and I used to buy her charms for her birthday and for Christmas.
Rowan: There must be a lot of happy memories in this.
Jake: Yes…well, if you like, I’ll buy you charms for yours now…
Jake: Oh, Rowan, look! I’d forgotten this…
Rowan: How pretty!
Jake: I bought her this…I remember saving up for it, I was just a kid, it seemed like it took ages. I thought they’d sell it before I got the money together.
Jake: Would you like to have it?
Rowan: Jake, I couldn’t –
Jake: Don’t you like it?
Rowan: Yes I do, of course I do; but don’t you want to keep it? All these things must be special to you.
Jake: But you’re special to me. You don’t have to have it, if you don’t like it – I won’t be offended.
Rowan: No, I love it – I would love to have it, if you’re sure. Thank you, Jake.
Jake: Um – Rowan, I’d – er – oh…
Rowan: What’s up, sunshine? Spit it out.
Jake: Would you move in with me?
