We’ll play it by ear, I suppose. 

It’s why you’re a good friend. 

And how’s it going with the Blake girl?

We’re civil for Alex. I think that’s all that matters for now.

Don’t try to make me feel better.

I just meant later on.

Or, y’know, forever. 

Very true. I don’t feel as special now.

If that’s the kind of relationship you want with her.

Not sure. Our time talking to each other is pretty limited. 

She’s too nice to me.

I reckon that’s for the best while you both properly move on.

I’ve said a lot of things about Sam in the past that have changed. 

I’ve realized I’m a pusher, Sawyer. I push people away or too far or what have you.

Has she finally gotten boring?

Well, then Sam doesn’t really count either way. 

That… yeah. I did some making up for that whole thing. 

She was the one you said you didn’t get bored of.

You and Kory, for example.

I meant settled with just Frank and I being an old married couple.

Not around the right people, I don’t. 

Other than Sam?

No, I think settled sounds nice. 

You get bored easily.

I don’t know how you do it. I wanna be just like you when I grow up. 

I’ve a very settled life. You’d get bored.

Y’know, that’s why I always hated school. The morning is no time to learn anything. The world shouldn’t start until noon.

That’s when I’m looking for a nap.

And I don’t even like to talk to people before ten.

I’m usually up at five because I grew up there. 

Quite early for them, innit?

They start up pretty early at the boarding house.

Will do. 

What’re you still doing up? 

Phone call with some people back in Doncaster.

Lost the key to my place and I’ve no clue where Ross is with his. 

You gotta be quiet. Frank’s asleep and he’s a light sleeper.

Thank god you’re up. 

What are you doing here?
