CHARLOTTE

I’m actually busy helping Lucy with cookbook stuff. I might just crash here tonight.

JUDE

Are you sure?

CHARLOTTE

Yes, I’m sure. It’ll be nice to spend some time with Lucy anyway.

JUDE

But you’re coming back tomorrow? I want to know what’s bothering you.

CHARLOTTE

Yes I’ll be back.

JUDE

Ava slept through the night last night. I thought you’d want to know.

CHARLOTTE

Yay! Look at her go. Hope you managed to get some sleep as well.

JUDE

I would’ve slept better if it was next to you.

CHARLOTTE

Are you planning on working at all today?

JUDE

No

Why?

CHARLOTTE

Lucy’s still needing help so I was going to stay and help her if you didn’t need someone to watch Ava.

If you need me to watch Ava I can just come home, but if you don’t, I might stay here.

JUDE

I don’t want you home because I need you to watch Ava. I want you home because I miss you and think we need to talk.

Is everything okay?

CHARLOTTE

Everything’s fine. Just letting you enjoy your family time without me tagging along, and using the time to help Lucy with everything she needs.
