He chose it himself. It fits perfectly. No sizing needed.
That's a sign, right?
Ros.
Thank you.
Did you download the app yet?
You should!
- She hit the ball! - Shut up!
At last!
It's Mum.
What's that?
An invitation.
To what?
Tom...
- Who's it from? - Dad.
They're coming back.
Why didn't they tell us?
It's OK.
It'll be OK.
Who is it?
It's Max and Issie. Don't worry, no-one's grooming me.
Except Max, cos he wants me to do his physics homework.
Done.
It could be good, Dad being closer.
How?
So you could spend more time with him.
I'm not going.
Max's parents are away next weekend. I think I'd rather go there.
Thank you.
Sleep well.
Are you surprised that we could buy here?
Wondering if I kept money from you in the divorce? I didn't.
I promise I was completely honest.
This is simply a change of circumstance.
You didn't need to come here in person.
You know what The Acres is like.
You didn't need to get out, walk around...
walk in.
Must've been another reason why you came.
How are you?
- Good. - Good.
- You seem well. - Yeah, I am.
- Do you think about me? - What?
You can't end 15 years of marriage and just switch it off, can you?
I even dream about you sometimes.
Just being honest. What you always asked for.
I thought you were doing all right in London.
Doing all right financially, but Tom's here
and I know you've not seen us together since it happened,
but whatever he goes back and tells you, we get on quite well.
- He makes an effort. - Yeah, well, I'd like to see more of him
and Kate's friends are here, her family.
It's clearly the best thing to do.
No, the difficult thing was leaving in the first place.
But that was the right thing at the time, wasn't it, for you?
- You decided to go. - Yes, we did, to give you space.
But hopefully two years is enough.
Yorkshire Tea.
Like we used to get.
Milk, one sugar?
Yeah.
It's odd knowing someone so well, isn't it, that you never see?
Maybe not so well any more.
Got the tea right.
Is Tom coming to the party?
Gemma, you're very quiet.
We haven't spoken to each other in a long time
and you've hardly opened your mouth.
- Tom has another party at the weekend. - He...
Gemma, he's 15 and he's what, too busy? I'm his dad.
It's up to him.
Is that a new top?
What? No.
No. It's our wedding, our house-warming.
Sure, he's under your roof, but he's part of our family too.
Actually, I did encourage him,
but he felt very strongly that it would be awful.
- Tell him he has to. - He's not a child.
He is and, like you, used to say, family first.
That depends on how you define "family".
Are you with anyone at the moment? Is there anyone new?
- I might leave the tea. - I hear not.
Bad taste.
Because it's odd that you're here.
I send you that text out of courtesy
and within 24 hours I find you poking around.
That's strange.
And forgive me but I've seen some of our friends
while I've been sorting this place out
and they say you just work,
go home, work again,
only see your little group. Nothing's changed.
- I need to go... - Your same life but without me.
Before you get any more aggressive.
I'm not being aggressive at all.
The last time we were in a room together,
you knocked me unconscious.
Yes, and I've got a criminal record.
I did community service.
Everyone I know, when they found out about what I'd done,
took a step back.
I've invited friends to the party.
It'll be a miracle if, with my reputation, anybody turns up,
but at least I'm trying to move on.
I think that's what you need to do.
Not being patronising, but leave me behind.
Of course we think about each other sometimes,
but turning up at my house? Come on.
You even look the same. The car.
And you're right, that top,
how old is that top? You had it when we...
Ok.
Tell Tom he should be there.
Cutting it fine.
Sorry?
Well, it's nearly time. Oh, do you want a hand?
Thanks. I'm fine.
Maybe it's just me but I hate rushing so I always get here early,
order a coffee from the van on the corner.
Have you tried their coffee?
It's been there years.
