Yeah, once.

That was a long time ago now.

Do you miss her?

Well, of course, I do.

She was...

She was my best friend.

Who's your best

friend now then?

Well, you are, of course.

Come here.

Why, who's yours?

I think it's probably Mum.

Yeah.

I'm not so terrible though, am I?

I'm not answering that.

You know what you are.

It's just round the corner.

This way.

Oh, Dexter!

Damn it, they're early.

You're early.

We thought we'd surprise you.

Clearly, we have.

Mum, Dad, this is Emma Morley.

Morley.

Hello.

Pleased to meet you.

Emma, you'll join us

for tea, yes?

No, no, thanks.

I should leave you to it.

Are you going to go?

Yeah. Well,

pleasure to meet you and...

Well, have a nice life.

Okay.

I'm sorry. Did we

just interrupt something?

No, no.

Emma's just a good friend.

Weren't you

wearing this yesterday?

The rascal.

Emma! Em!

Em, wait! Wait, wait.

Look, I need your phone number.

My number?

Right. Of course.

Look, I'm so sorry

about all of that.

I wasn't expecting them until after we...

Well, you know.

Right.

This is me in Edinburgh.

Right.

My parents' number

and their address just in case.

Right.

Oh. Dad's got

a fax machine at work.

Just the phone number's fine.

Thank you.

Look, I've got to go.

I know.

But we will see

each other again.

I know we will.

Goodbye, Dex.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.
