- No, that's not fair!

- I won!

- You cheated.

TOM (OVER SKYPE):

Okay, sweetie, that's enough.

Look, erm, Mom and Dad need

to talk now, okay?

Love you, too.

Hey.

How is she?

Apart from her hamster dying

last night...

she's, erm, she's fine.

Oh, that's awful.

TOM (OVER SKYPE):

How are you?

I'm really good, actually.

- Rested.

- Wow.

Feeling better, better than I've

been in years.

I don't think that either of us

have, er...

slept well since this whole

thing happened.

I know. Tom...

this has been so rough on the

two of you and I'm so sorry.

All my priorities were

messed up.

TOM (OVER SKYPE): Yeah, I know,

it's erm, it's okay.

I promise from now on, you two

are my first priority.

No more obsessing over work.

- You're upsetting Niamh!
