Rowan: I think I love him…
Sadie: Oh my god, darling, I am so glad I was sitting down when you said that!
Effie: I think you loved him from the beginning.
Sadie: She did not! All those horrible things she said about him – and to him!
Effie: Yes, well I think she was in denial!
Rowan: I’m now going to admit – I did fancy him from the word go. I don’t know if you can love someone instantly though – love at first sight, and all that.
Effie: Well, I think it can happen.
Sadie: Was it like that for you and Will?
Effie: I think I did like him straight away – but I was only eleven! It was as we got older I started falling for him.
Rowan: Sadie, what about you and Dan?
Sadie: Oh that wasn’t love at first sight, darling, that was lust! I’m not going to pretend otherwise. But it turned into love.
Sadie: I think you have fallen for Jake far faster than Effie or I fell for our men, despite what you said about taking your time.
Rowan: Yeah…I think you’re right…oh crap!
Effie: Don’t get in a panic about it, Rowan! Just enjoy it.
Sadie: So, let’s get this straight – he’s not an arrogant tosser?
Rowan: No! He’s kind and gentle and funny. Who said that anyway?
Sadie: You did. And he’s not annoying?
Rowan: Well – no – I did say that though didn’t I?
Effie: Yes – lots of times. And you called him a weirdo.
Rowan: Well – he does look a bit different. But I like that.
Sadie: What else was there – oh yes – too tall with big spidery hands!
Rowan: It’s quite nice, that he’s tall – it makes me feel kind of safe. And he has nice hands. Strong hands, but gentle…
Effie: Oh Rowan – you are funny! But I’m really glad it’s working out for you.
Rowan: I really do think I love him…
