Bristol?

Answer 12

Yeah. Maybe

Question 13

That’s a shame… That you’ll have to leave I mean

Answer 13

Not sure I’ll be able to pay the rent if I don’t find another job, so I guess it’ll be for the best. Nothing much to stay for here anyway

Oh

Question 19

Sorry, I didn’t mean that to sound weird

Answer 19

No, no, it didn’t sound weird. It sounded nice… nicest thing anyone’s said all week in fact

Question 20

Pause

Answer 20

I didn’t mean it

Question 21

What?

Answer 21

When I said I had nothing to stay for. I didn’t mean it. I do have something to stay for.

Question 22

Then stay. Please.

Answer 22

End.
