Al? Are you home...? Hello? This is the right flat, yeah? You haven't like....up and moved to Ascot or Buckinghamshire or sommat, have you?

Al?

Love?

Al? You home?

Hey. I'm home early, I know. Well, about five hours early, I suppose.

So you can ignore me if you're in a brewing frenzy. Or if you're going in to St. Mungo's.

I've done it. Sco. Look.

Blue sparkles. It also works faster than regular Pepper Up. I think. Woah.

Hey.

Teddy's asleep. I tired him out with hard labour and work outs, obviously.

Hey.

I'm finally back. Sorry I'm a bit later than usual. Debriefing ran way longer than usual.

Anyway, how are you?

James?

I woke up, when you--you were out of bed.

Are you--

Come here, James.

Talk to me?

...Please?
