Where's the drinks?

Erm, just through
there, on the left.

- I were on me way back.
- Did you save her?

Yeah, listen.

She's been through a lot, OK?

So, don't question her,
just let her be.

Give her time.

OK.

Is she staying?

Where'd you learn to dance?

Me dad taught me.

Oh, my God, don't. He's too cute.

Get me a Kn*fe and fork,

I'm actually gonna have to eat
the pair of you up.

Are you staying?

Well...

..that was my plan but...

it's your house.
Would you mind?

I don't mind.

- THEY CHUCKLE
- Easy!

Hiya, love.

Sleep all right?

I was thinking, er...

maybe we should,

should do something.

Maybe go into town or something,
I...

I shouldn't have said it.

What?

That I didn't want Danny here.
I just...

I were angry with him.

Why?

There's this girl.

A girl?

Jesus, what, so, what, this
is just all over some girl?

No.

And it's not just some girl.

It's something else,
you won't get it.

Aaron.

I just felt like you
were pushing me away a bit.

From what?

It were just me and you,
weren't it? Like...

And then...

Paul came and then the kids came.

I just feel like I'm just
getting further

and further away from you,
and then Danny comes here and...

Jesus Christ, Aaron.
Come here, love.

SHE SIGHS
Listen...

you're my son and I love you.

Nothing is ever gonna change that.

Agh!

Can't sit around in here all our
lives, can we?

No.

We're gonna have to be brave.

I can be brave, I promise.

What'd you wanna do?

Can we...
