Jamie: You left your door unlocked again…
Jake: Jamie! You came back!
Jamie: Well, if I was going to do a runner, I would have emptied the till!
Jake: It’s just I didn’t know how to get in touch with you. You locked up for me and everything last night.
Jamie: Yeah, and I let your dog out for a pee before I left. You look brighter today anyway. Feeling better?
Jake: Much better, thanks. So was it okay last night?
Jamie: No problem at all – told you I could cope. It was steady all night. Hey – your girl came in!
Jake: Rowan? Really? Was she with Sadie? Her friend with the long black hair?
Jamie: No, she was on her own. She’s kind of sparky isn’t she? She wanted to know where you were.
Jake: Really? She asked about me? Why didn’t you come and tell me?
Jamie: I didn’t want to disturb you; you were flat out, you obviously needed the rest. You probably wouldn’t have been a pretty sight anyway.
Jake: Did you tell her where I was?
Jamie: Course not – I didn’t think it would sound that attractive if I said you were sprawled out on the bed with a migraine. Then again, maybe she would have felt compelled to come and laid her healing hands on you…anyway I told her you were out for the evening with a leggy blonde.
Jake: You told her – why? Why did you say that?
Jamie: I’m joking! Crikey, you’re easy to wind up. If we’re going to be working together, you’re going to have to get used to my sense of humour. I just told her you weren’t in and left it at that.
Jake: Oh – okay.
Jamie: Then I told her all that stuff you said about her.
Jake: Oh my god – all of it? How did that go down?
Jamie: I think she was a bit gobsmacked. But I think I gave her something to think about.
Jake: Yes…did she really ask where I was? Do you think she was hoping to see me?
Jamie: Well yes! She came in by herself, and she didn’t stay long when she knew you weren’t there, so she wasn’t meeting anyone else, was she? Anyway that’s enough about your love life. Are we going discuss my hours and wages?
