Okay. I still really want to talk about things.

CHARLOTTE

We will, I promise. Just going to keep helping Lucy while you spend time with your parents.

JUDE

Will you be coming home tonight? I’m bringing Ava to the club to meet everyone and having dinner at Pembroke Grill with my parents. We’d love to have you join if you want.

CHARLOTTE

Good for you for taking her to the club! I’ll let that be a family moment for all of you, but let me know how it goes. Since you’ll be out, I might just sleep here again tonight.

JUDE

Okay.

CHARLOTTE

All the girls are going to melt at seeing you with a baby.

JUDE

I don’t care about other girls. I care about you.

CHARLOTTE

I’m so proud of you for taking Ava to Pembroke. I can’t wait to hear how it goes.

CHARLOTTE

I fell asleep early last night. Lucy’s been putting me to work testing out different recipes. How did it go?

I bet everyone at the club loved her.

CHARLOTTE

Was looking through my photos and found this one of Ava. It was too cute not to share.

JUDE

Love it

I’m going to lock up the house before getting to bed. Are you coming back tonight or staying at Lucy and Cal’s?

CHARLOTTE

I can stay here so I don’t wake you up coming home.

JUDE

I wish you’d just come home. I want to talk.

CHARLOTTE

I know, I will I promise. I think I just realized some time away from each other might be good for us both. I’ll be back and we’ll talk.
