(MAX): …Hi.

(SANDRA): Max, come in.

*

(MAX): Thank you for letting my friend come with me, I’m a bit nervous and-

(SANDRA): Don’t worry about it. Dais mentioned you might not come alone. 

(MAX): Cool. Um-

(SANDRA): D’ya want a cuppa? Me mum’s got all sorts in her cupboard.

(MAX):  Oh! English breakfast would be great if you’ve got it. 

(SANDRA): Alright, [to Lena] Same for you?

(LENA): I’m okay thanks, is it cool if I sit out in the living room? Just to give you two some privacy.

(SANDRA): Go for it. Let me know if you need anything.

(SANDRA): So how do you want to do this? Do you have questions or do you want me to just start talking?

(MAX): Um, I guess I have questions? Like, Daisy said you were cellmates so was that for a long time or?

(SANDRA): I met your mum around seven years ago. Typically, when new inmates are inducted, we’re paired up with someone to show us the ropes. Your mum was that for me. I think when I got there she was a few years into her time.

(MAX): Right…and how was she? Was it…hard for her? I mean I know it’s hard for everyone but she asked me to stop visiting quite early on. She told my stepmum it was too much for her and I never got to- Sorry I’m rambling.
