-He’s a desperate figure.
-A cry for help.
-Rudderless.
-Just look at those eyes.
-Yes, so pleading.
-Soft.
-Ask so much of you in one glance.
-And how old is he now?
-Old enough.
-Too old to have an excuse.
-Some women are into that.
-You mean taking on a second child?
-Precisely.
-Never saw the appeal myself.
-I mean there’s mama’s boys and mama’s boys.
-Picture him bringing up kids…
-Most women in his ballpark will definitely have at least one in tow.
-I honestly felt that Harry and him were on the same wavelength.
-Hannah!
-Might not be such a bad thing though…
-I wasn’t planning to divorce Graham…
-They seemed to be relating as peers.
-Maybe they could get together for one of those jams sometime?
-Don’t be mean.
-Why is that mean, they both play guitar.
-Graham thought he was 24.
-Does look young to be fair.
-Then he thought he was gay.
-What’s that word…labile.
-His mother still dotes on him, you could tell.
-And Natasha ridicules him in front of everyone.
-And he stands back and takes it.
-What’s he supposed to do?
-Give as good as he gets, she’s his sister for god’s sake, it even gets on my nerves.
-Doesn’t know how.
-Like she’s got a hold on him.
-They’ve all got issues these Blooms.
-It’s like he’s been cloistered.
-She can’t stand when the attention’s not on her, practically rugby-tackled Elias to commandeer a cuddle.
-She’s a little exuberant.
-I like Darian though.
-You two were chatting for ages.
-I like him too.
-Quiet type.
-Boring?
-Not at all, just calm. Got a lot to say for himself. Into Buddhism, quiet high up at ABN AMRO.
-Yeah I can see that.
-They seem to get on well and that’s the important thing.
-I suppose.
-Adores him.
-She’s sweet isn’t she, caring.
-A good influence.
