800 Words (2015–2018): Season 3, Episode 9 - Episode #3.9 - full transcript

George gets an unexpected visitor after making his big decision. Arlo tries to navigate the Lindsay situation and Monty surprises everybody when he hooks up with Ngahuia again.

You're moving into Big Mac's?
He kind of wants us to stay.

Aren't kids of your generation

meant to be living at home
well into your twenties?

I really want to do this.

I thought it'd be great
having the place to myself,

doing what I want, when I want.

Cooking naked?

I always thought
I'd be alone with someone.

I now pronounce you
husband and wife.

You're breaking up with me?

Shouldn't have even got back together
in the first place.



But I realise, out of all this,
that I... I love you.

I can't be with you, OK?

You're not with Ike anymore, right?

I don't want a relationship.

Let go!

Open up. Somebody's in here.

OK. I don't want a baby.

What?

Even if I did have feelings
for Arlo, which I... I don't,

it would be social suicide for me
to nick someone else's boyfriend.

OK. This is me.

Is that weird?

Like, she just...

You were flirting with her.



You're being dumb.
Dumb? You think I'm dumb?

No, I mean you're acting dumb...

Come home with me tonight.

There's something
a bit controversial

that, um, I've been thinking
about asking you.

I'm intrigued.

I want to have a baby.
I was wondering if you'd help me.

Whatever happens now,
love goes on, George.

Wait.

You just... took me by surprise.

But the answer is yes.

George Turner.

Are you doing the walk of shame?

I'm not ashamed.

My god!

Who was it?

I will find out. You know it.

There you are, George.

You dirty stop-out.

Laura?

Well, where have you been?

Hey, where have you been?

Morning.

Afternoon.
Hi.

You're alive. Good.
Yeah, sorry I didn't call.

I just got a little...
Terrible parent.

I'm kidding, Dad.

Are you OK?

I haven't had any unwanted texts
or calls or visits.

So, yeah, I'm good.

Arlo, however, is still trying
to live down the humiliation.

Lindsay pushed him
into the wedding cake.

I honestly don't know what I did.

You'll work it out.
People get a bit crazy at weddings.

So, who did you get crazy with?

Once upon a time, I met a woman,
fell in love, got married

and lived happily ever after.

Well, that's how it was meant to go.

But what happens if
happily ever after is interrupted,

if you never fall out of love?

Can there ever be a second chance?
Is there love after love?

I think I'm about to find out.

3x09

Sorry, what's the question again?

Who did George leave
the wedding with last night?

I don't know. Me and Tracey,
we left way before any of you guys.

But did you notice him getting cosy
with anyone or...?

Hannah...

Did you just want me to give George
a tinkle and ask him for you?

No, no. No.
Enjoy your honeymoon.

Hey.
Heard from anyone?

No-one.
Excellent.

I've come to escort you home,
just in case.

Actually, I thought I'd hang out
with my brother today.

Why?
Because I love you, obviously.

And because I wanna make sure
you don't get back with Lindsay.

I thought it might be because
he's going to require a bodyguard.

Yeah. Ha-ha.

I'm not jesting, Arlo.

This is mad cousin Lindsay
we're talking about.

And when I say mad,
I do mean angry mad and MAD mad.

I'm gonna pop into work for a while.

Hey, you weren't
just drinking whiskey

with Big Mac all night, were you?

Nope.

He only got home an hour ago.

Whoa. Go, George.
But where was he?

He was hanging around with Katie
a bit.

It could be Fiona.

Maybe.

Hey, did either of you guys see
who George left with last night?

Hannah...
Ngahuia, wasn't it?

They were looking pretty cosy
at the reception.

Tom, um, we can't put this one up.

Why not? What's wrong with it?

Gentlemen.

Are you OK, Big Mac?

Um...

Last night, after the wedding,
I couldn't sleep.

Um, well, yeah,
I'd had a couple of rums.

So I... I went for a walk in
the moonlight around the property,

out and about, where I could see
the Harkness place.

All the lights were on.

When there's nobody home,

given that Ernie Harkness
is in Sweden at the moment.

So I went to take a look.
And I really wish I hadn't.

OK.

That's where she got to.
I'm sorry.

Like, this is your mother
we're talking about.

No, it's cool.
She does what she wants to.

With Monty?
Nice work by the best man.

No, George.

It's a mistake
Ngahuia made once before

and swore she would never repeat.

Well, I don't see the problem.
I mean, they're both single.

They say that when a marriage
is ended by death,

women mourn, men replace, which is
harsh, but, yes, we do make mistakes.

We're lonely, we're sad,
we miss her.

But then a day arrives,
a moment when you're not lonely.

You're not drowning in loss,

you're not craving companionship
just to stop the pain.

You're just looking at a woman
and it takes you by surprise and...

Wait.

...you think, why not?

The answer is yes.

Yes, as in, I'd like to leave -
with you.

As you... mentioned... before.

Right.

Yes. That would be nice.

We can just have
a cup of tea or...

♪ I want to make you mine
Hold you when I sleep

♪ Keep that morning sky
just out of your reach

♪ I'm giving you my word
and it doesn't mean a thing

♪ So I'll keep it my heart
till I'm ready to give in

♪ Hold you back,
I don't want to let you leave

♪ I'm alone again,
I want to pull you closer... ♪

♪ We connect

♪ And somehow you just seem to... ♪

Good morning. Afternoon.

Hi. It's me.

The guy who ran away from my house
while I was in the shower?

I... I had a... I had a fun night.

So did I.

Really.

A lot... of fun. I, um...

I was wondering if I could come by
tomorrow morning.

Sure.

To see Arlo about
the internship program.

Um, me too, I hope.

If you're home.

I'll make sure I am.

Great.

I'll see you then.

Look forward to it.

Really, George?

You ran out on her
while she was in the shower?

Classy.

Fiona.
Hi.

I was wondering,
if we could catch up.

Yeah. Um, sure.

Well, how about dinner tonight?

Um... Yeah, OK.

I'll see you at the boat club?

Yeah. See you there.

Look, it's complicated enough
as it is

without you putting your five cents
worth in.

I didn't say a word.

Yeah, I'm not gonna mess it up
this time.

I'm not gonna overthink this.

In fact, I'm not gonna
think about it at all.

If you say so, sweetie.

This could be Lindsay.

Ignore it.

Well?

It's nothing.

"You don't get this in the outback."

Cute. So Lindsay did have reason
to cake you.

No. Probably was just being friendly.

Hey, what are you doing?

Don't.

Don't. Seriously, don't send that.

Why would you send that?
You weren't going to yourself?

No. No, well, 'cause...

Lindsay is gonna kill me.

George, last night...

Yes?

I'm so sorry I lobbed that grenade
in your direction, then ran off.

The baby grenade.

Well, I didn't think there
was any other grenade.

You must think I'm insane.
No, I think you're you.

Which could be the same as insane.

You have your own way
of doing things.

And I'm sorry I reacted
the way I did,

but I don't think you should give up

getting what you want
the traditional way.

Yeah.

Well, anyway, um,
I asked you here today

to say I'm sorry
and I hope we're OK.

Yeah. Yeah, of course we are.

Hey, hey.

I've also got something
that I want to say.

I'm sorry what happened
between you and me,

from me rushing into something
that I knew I couldn't see through.

OK.

Look, I'm sorry if I hurt you,

thinking I was ready to date again
when I... when I wasn't.

We're good, George.

The reason that I asked you
what I asked you last night,

it's not to do with
any residual feelings.

OK.

No.

Lindsay's changed her
relationship status to single.

See, I'm glad Arlo isn't
with the type of girl

who posts her relationship status.

Hi. I won't hang around.

I just... wanted to deliver
the news in person.

I... I went by the petrol station
and Ollie's dad told me

that Ollie has moved to Stafford
to live with mum.

Has he just?
Yeah, he left this morning.

Thanks for letting me know.

You're welcome.

You sure you don't want to stay?

We're watching something
entirely crappy

but you're more than welcome
to watch it with us.

No. No, no. That's fine.
Thank you, though.

I'll see you around.
See you.

See you, Shay.
Bye.

My goodness.
Can I come in?

Sure.

Is everything OK?

No.

I think I might have gone insane.

The last time this happened with him,
I could've blamed the tequila.

But this time,
I was relatively sober.

And it took a whole lot of willpower
to drag me away.

Oooh.

OK.

I just needed to talk to someone

who could remind me
that he is not my type.

For starters, his name is Monty.
You're allowed to say his name.

I don't want to.

Second of all, if it really was that
good, then maybe he is your type.

But it's Monty.

At the end of the day, does it
really matter who it is if it works?

George came home with me last night.

That is great.

We didn't sleep together.

We just talked all night and laughed

and slept on my bed
with our clothes on.

It was amazing.

True love goes on.

Sorry?

Well, George and I, we were talking
last night after the speech.

Monty's speech?

Delivered beautifully,
but written by George.

About Laura.

God.
No. No, no, no, it's a good thing.

True love has no end.
But it can have new beginnings.

They say that when you lose
someone you love, rather than fading,

your love for that person
actually increases over time.

You read that in one of those
dealing-with-grief books

you got after I left you.

You didn't leave me, Laura.

Neither of us wanted to end
our relationship.

I know.

Your love grows because when that
person's no longer around every day,

they're never gonna disappoint you
or irritate you.

And you know, you could be
quite irritating...

So could you.

You like Katie.

A lot.

I really do.

But it's not that simple because
there's this other woman in my life.

Yeah. Fiona. She's fine.
You've sorted things with her.

No, Laura. Not Fiona.

You.

Morning, Shay.

Help yourself.

You don't want your only daughter
starving, do you?

Shouldn't you be on the bus
about now?

Um, I'm not really feeling
that well.

What is it? Head? Stomach? Fever?

Yeah, kind of all of... that.

I think I'm probably gonna have to
stay home today.

I know what it is.
It's not your stomach.

It's slightly lower.
Lack of a couple of something.

Shut up, Shay.

Knock, knock.
Morning.

Hi.

Arlo, I've got some good news
for you.

I found you an internship.
Great. Where is it?

It's at the council.

With Sean?
Arlo's gonna be a parking warden?

I'm sorry. I can keep looking.

Actually, no, no, no, no,
that's perfect.

That's great. Um, when do I start?

Today?
Yeah. This afternoon.

Wow.

I mean, I can probably go over now,
head over early and catch up, right?

So you don't have to go near school?
Handy, that...

Bye, Shay.
Sean's expecting you after lunch.

Yeah, school for you,
as usual this morning.

I could give you a lift.

Billy's in the car.
Great. Thanks, Dad.

Bye.
Bye.

Katie, I was just wondering
if I could have a...

just a quick word.

I forgot to mention something,
um, inside.

What is it?

OK.

I mentioned what a good night I had
the other night.

Yeah, you did.

So when do we do it again?

You want to do it again?

Yes, I do.

Are you sure?

Well... why wouldn't I be?

It was a good night, wasn't it?
Yeah. It was.

And I've been thinking about you
non-stop.

I better get the boys to school.

We'll talk soon.

Is it just me or was she
a little weird just now?

Why is it the moment that Katie
leaves, you show up?

It's not my fault, George.
It's you. It's your head I'm in.

Just a little stand-offish,
don't you think?

I've got your back, not that
that's much use against Lindsay.

I've still got the scar from
when she stabbed me in the thigh

with a pencil in Year Two.

Hi.

Lindsay?

Lindsay? Lindsay...

I have an exciting announcement.

We, the 'News of the Weld Wide Web',
are making a film.

A short film called
'Welcome to Weld'.

And what's it about?

Coming to Weld.

It's a tourist thing?

You're onto it, George,

which is good, given that you'll be
writing the script for our film...

No, no. I'm no screenwriter.
Sorry.

Sorry.

Hi, darling.

Did you start the meeting
without me?

Big Mac's been telling us all about
his film - Weld and its attractions.

Yes.

Well, you see some sights in Weld
you'd never see anywhere else.

George, um, go out, locate
some locations, take a camera

and then come back and... and pitch
your film ideas to me.

But it's your film,
so shouldn't you...

Yeah, no, sell Weld to me.
That's your task.

Something I need to attend to.

Is he alright?

Just a bit under the weather,
I think.

Hello?

Lindsay?

Shouldn't you hate me?
No.

Why would I?

Because I shoved you in the cake.

OK, yeah, but...
Look, I kind of deserved that.

It wasn't your fault, Arlo.

It was always going to happen.

What was?

Nice guys don't go for me.

I'm too bitchy, I'm too jealous...

No, you're not.

Maybe I wasn't for a minute
'cause you made be better.

Because you're the nicest guy
I've ever been with.

But it turns out jealous bitch me

was still there all along,
so just walk away, Arlo.

I'm just gonna go for a walk.

Apparently there's a track
around the lake - an hour loop.

Well, hey, why don't we all
go together?

Nah, I'm just gonna
go, um, for an hour.

See youse. In an hour.

Why didn't she want to go with her?

Because I think she wanted us
to stay here.

Well, yeah, Trace, obviously.

Alone. Together.

George. Cooee.
Hey, Monty.

Hey, um, is Ngahuia in there?

Yeah, yeah, she is.
Hey, um, can you keep a secret?

I'd rather not, if I didn't have to.

Historically, there's always been
this frisson

between Ngahuia and myself.

At the wedding, that frisson
burst into flames, George.

George, I know I'm batting
too far up the order

but I can't let her go
a second time.

Help me.

Well, I don't know.
What went wrong the last time?

Well, she sobered up, I think.

Did you talk to her about it?

No, no. I just...
I just let her fly away.

As I knew she would.

OK. OK. Well, maybe you need to learn
from your mistakes.

Talk to her. Be honest.
Tell her how you feel.

Is that it?

Is that all you got?
Yeah. Good luck.

I've always been anti internships,
to be honest.

However, I have a feeling
you'll fit in very well here, Arlo.

Thanks.

Very well indeed.

Each team member
here at Weld Council

has been handpicked by myself.

Welcome, comrade.

It just feels so different.

You know, I don't want to
jump into bed with her

and stay there for three days.

I don't feel like I'm gonna die if
I don't see her right this instant.

Because you're not 20 years old.

What, you're expecting to fall
madly in love overnight

like we did back then?

It's the only experience I have.

George, we were young.
We had no kids.

No bills, no responsibilities.

Just the future to do
whatever we wanted with.

You're a grown-up now.
You have baggage.

You have a dead wife.

And a bad back sometimes.

If you found someone willing to
take you on, despite all that,

it's called a second chance, George.

Like love after love?

George.

Sorry.

Were you just talking to yourself?

Sort of.

Um... I was...

I was talking to Laura.

Yeah, not like she's a ghost
or anything.

I was just talking to her in my head.

Of course.

About you, actually.

I might go.

Look, it's just something that I do
or have been doing lately.

I get it. I do.
No, I don't think you do.

After the other night, I thought
that you were ready...

I am. I am. I am. I just...

OK. You are.

Maybe I'm not.

Come on, Katie. I enjoyed every
second of the other night...

I know. I know. And it's not you,
it's me and how crap I am...

And how crap you are with men.
You've said that before...

I will stress
and I'll work myself up

and I'll constantly wonder
if I'm measuring up.

Measuring up?

Because falling for a guy
who had the perfect wife

and never fell out of love with her,
I...

Katie...
..don't think...

I don't think
that I can handle that.

It's not you.
It's not even your wife.

It's me. It really is.

George.
How did the location scouting go?

I thought I'd start with history,

introduce the statue
of Frederick Weld.

God, no, that sounds dull.

No, no, we need to attract people
to Weld, not send them to sleep.

Thanks for the feedback.
You're welcome.

Look, I have a... a favour to ask.

This situation with Monty
cannot continue to exist.

It's a situation?

I have plans, George, and Ngahuia
is important to those plans

and I can't have Monty
driving her away like he last time.

So I want you to have a word
with him.

Why?

Well, he respects you
more than he does me.

Just tell him he's had his fun

and it's time to come back
to the real world.

No, I'm not gonna do that.

In fact, I've already told him
that I think he should go for it,

tell her how he feels.

No. No. That would be a disaster.

Well, maybe. I mean, I hope it isn't.
I hope he gets the girl.

And you should too,

because Monty is a good guy
who deserves a shot at love.

He's had his shot - his first wife,

now living in Stafford
with a car salesman called Rodney.

A second shot, then.
We all deserve one of those.

And for you, Monty's own father,
to undermine that

just because it might interfere
with your plans,

whatever they may be, that is wrong.

I just remembered another location
I need to get. Excuse me.

Hey.
Hi.

Of those days?

Yeah.
I can relate.

Really?

I did something a little bit crazy
at the wedding.

Not with Zac again?

No. I said crazy, not stupid.

No, I just...

I had this idea and I thought
that it was a good idea

but it involved asking
a really big favour from...

Are you legally allowed
to drive that thing?

I need a word with you, Fiona.
In the car, please.

We're in the middle
of a conversation here.

Don't argue. Just get in.
Why?

I said don't argue.
She's not arguing.

She's just asking you why.
Stay out of it, please, ma'am.

Ma'am?
OK...

I will talk to you later.

Maybe you can drink this with me.

Yeah, I would love to.

In you hop.

Dad? Hey.
Hi.

Not working?

I am, actually.

Visiting all the beautiful places
of Weld, taking photos.

You look really happy about it.

So, where have you been?

Parada Bay, Hillary's Stairs.
The nudie beach.

Until I realised a guy by himself
with a camera at the nudie beach...

It's so wrong.

Yeah, anyway, one more location
to go. The waterfall.

Want some company?

Madam.

Here are the facts.

One, you were seen dancing
with George Turner at the wedding.

Hannah...
My god.

Two, you and George Turner
have some history.

There is nothing going on
between me and...

Three, George Turner spent the night

with a mystery woman
on Saturday night.

Four, you George Turner were seen
having dinner together last night.

What mystery woman?
I'm getting to that.

All of these facts point to you
and George...

How do you know that he spent
the night with... with someone?

Hannah...

Because I caught him red-handed
doing the walk of shame

the next morning from your place.

No. Not me.

Yes, it was.
It wasn't.

Yes.

Crap.

But...

I'm gonna go now.

No, but you had dinner with him...

Yeah, to say... Because...
Honestly, Hannah.

I'm so sorry.

George can do what he likes.
I don't care.

OK, well, just let me give you
a ride back to the boat club.

No, no. I'll walk. It's fine.

But I mean it.
Like, I really, really don't care.

She 100% does care, doesn't she?

Nice detective work there, Hannah.

I just think that he can do
a lot better than Lindsay.

Just let him make his own decisions.

I can't help if I know what's best.

Now you sound like your mum.

That's not a bad thing.
Mum was smart.

I've been talking to her.

Is that why we're here?
To talk to Mum?

I thought when we scattered her ashes
here that, you know, this would be

the place that we would come to
think about her, to talk to her.

But I've been talking to her
everywhere. She won't leave me alone.

Is this about the other night?

Katie...
You were with Katie?

Well, that's really great, Dad.
I love Katie. You know that.

Yeah. Yeah, but...

Why are you thinking about Mum
so much at the moment?

Do you feel disloyal?
No.

Laura was the least jealous person
I know.

It used to worry me
how relaxed she was.

She trusted you.

Yeah, that's what I want to get Katie
to do - trust me.

You see, Laura was the person
I used to speak to about this stuff.

You used to ask Mum advice
for how to score other women?

She knew me better than I know myself

and she always,
always had the right answer.

So if there was anyone I could
talk to about this stuff right now,

it would be her.

I know you quite well too, actually.

So, come on. Talk to me.

No daughter wants to hear the details
of her dad's love life.

Details, no,
but you're no ordinary dad.

And I'm ordinary daughter.

Because the woman we both love
isn't here anymore.

So, hit me. Tell me.

Saturday night was perfect.
And I can feel myself falling.

Katie, she's scared.

I finally feel like
I could love someone again.

But she's pulling away.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Snap.

I can't handle it anymore. I can't.
Loser.

He can't even beat me at snap.

None of you can beat me.
No.

Alright, Poppy, you're up.
Yeah, Pops, you're up.

Please, go in. Please.

Just...
Nah.

Actually, I've had an idea.

I'm really enjoying hanging out
with you two on your honeymoon...

Yeah, well, we're really enjoying
hanging out with you, mate.

Except, it's not really a honeymoon,
is it?

And I've checked online -
there's a bus which goes from town.

Thank you for coming.

Thanks for your weird text.

Peace cake awaits.

It's not really that weird, 'cause
I made you... It's a cake of peace.

So I can shove your head in it?

If you want to.

Though that would be a waste
of an excellent cake.

Why are you doing this, Arlo?

Because I don't like seeing you sad.

Because I like to bake...

and because you're not that bitch
that you think you are.

And you need to stop thinking that.

And because I want to make things
right between us.

Well, that's gonna take
more than cake.

Then what?

What's your deal with Poppy?

I like Poppy as a friend, yeah?

As a new person in town,
as a fellow Australian...

No. It's more than that.

She's a friend.

And what about me?

Well, I hope you're my girlfriend.

Here's what you should do.
Face it front on.

How do you mean?

Well, Katie is worried about Mum,
so tell her everything.

Let her get to know Mum.

Women don't want to know
about their predecessors.

Well, ordinarily, no,

but like I keep saying,
this is no ordinary situation.

Maybe you do know best after all.
No maybe about it, Dad.

OK, then.

And what about you?
What about me?

I hear that Ike rode to your rescue
the other night.

I don't need a guy to rescue me,
Dad.

No, you've got Siouxsie.

I think maybe when we got here
I was trying to distract myself

from the sadness with the boyfriend.

Yeah, I get that.

But I just need to be by myself
for a bit.

And when it's right, I'll know it.
I think that's what Mum would say.

Yeah, I think she would.

Love you, Dad.

I love you too.

Let's go.

That's... That's great, Dad.

That's great.

Monty's here.

He's really good at holding the bag.

You can sit down.

Thank you.

What can I do you for, Dad?

I have become aware

that you and Ngahuia formed
a relationship of sorts

after the wedding.

So we're back there?
Stop, bro.

Did George tell you?

No, he did not tell me.
Did Ngahuia tell you?

Look, it's not important
how I found out. The point is...

If it makes you and her happy,
then I think you should...

You know...
Go for it.

There has to be a better way
of putting it.

Dad, is this some kind of old-school
parental blessing?

On one condition... Two conditions.

She is very important to me.
Do not scare her off.

Well, I scared her off once.
She came back for more.

I hope that answers that.

And the second condition -
don't be a dick about it.

What, me? Never.

Katie, you're coming with me.

I've got wet washing
and kumara boiling inside...

I don't care about your kumaras.
Pardon?

Look, I'm trying to do a big gesture
here, alright?

George...
Please. Don't talk.

Just... Just come.

Can you give me five minutes
to hang my washing out?

I can do that, Mum.
Really?

Yeah. You go.
Let George be a caveman.

No, I'm not a caveman.

I'm not gonna throw you
over my shoulder or anything.

It'll be cool if you did, though.
Billy!

Come on.

I just need to get my stuff.

Thanks.

So, here we are.

This is where
you scattered Laura's ashes?

Yeah, this is as good a place
as any to introduce you.

Introduce me?
To Laura.

George,
you don't have to do this...

Laura, this is... This is Katie.

Katie Bell.

She's an artist and a teacher.

Relief teacher.

Katie's an excellent mum...
George...

...and that's where she's like you,
Laura.

But in many other ways,
she's the polar opposite.

You were a pit bull in the court
of law and Katie is sweet and kind.

She can't keep a secret.
She's a terrible liar.

That is true.

You were strong and confident,
had an ego.

And Katie doesn't know
how beautiful she is.

And she is. She's...
She's so beautiful.

She's also sensitive and caring

and I'm pretty sure she wants to be
with me

the same way I want to be with her,
but she's worried.

About you. About me.

So I've brought her here today
to say to you, Laura,

that I'm in like with Katie Bell

and I want to see where that goes,
where it takes us.

And I'm pretty sure, Laura,
that I have your blessing.

I will always love my first wife.

I know.

But there is room enough in this
heart for more than one person.

So, please, don't be scared.

Please, trust me.

I'm in, George. Whatever this is,
wherever it goes, I'm on board.

"CFD. Katie's place tonight."

What's CFD?
A compulsory family dinner.

Sounds lame. Pass.

Katie's place? This is a good sign.

Can I come?

Compulsory family dinner.

I feel like you've adopted me
as your sassy older sister.

I got your column.

Yes?

I've read it twice.

And?

Both times it made me cry,
you bastard.

Sorry about that.

It's pretty personal,
though, George.

Sure you want me to publish as is?

Never been surer.

Thought so.

It's taken me a while to get here.
I pulled all the classic moves.

My wife's best friend,
united in grief and history,

which we mistook for something else.

And then, rushing in with someone new
without stopping to think

that she might want
a different future than me.

For that, I'm sorry.

To the women I hurt because I wasn't
thinking straight, I'm so very sorry.

I was a textbook case,
the impetuous grief-crazed widower.

And so, I pulled back,
because, really,

the thought of loving someone again,

of opening myself up to potential
loss again, was scary as hell,

until today, when I realised
that it wasn't as scary

as spending the rest of my life
grieving,

in love with someone
I can never have again.

Hi.

And so, here I go, into a brave
new world, with a brave new woman...

because although when you marry,
you marry forever,

sometimes the universe
has other ideas.

Arlo.

Hey.

Hi. I'm back.

Sorry, I'm... late for dinner.

We don't choose who we fall for.
The heart does what it will do.

We have the capacity

There is such a thing

There is love after love.
