Bess

So you’re coming home in four days’ time?

Nina

Yes. Only a few days early and I’ve kind of had enough now.

Bess

Back to work?

Nina

Unfortunately! Not till the 5th though. Will just have a bit of a break before getting back into it all.

Sal

Have you told Jean-Luc? He’s still got a week left in your house and I’d hate him to…

Nina

Yes, don’t worry. I’m going to move in with Mum and Dad for a bit. We’re selling up after all, there doesn’t seem to be much point settling back.

Sal

Well, your mum will be pleased.

Nina

Apparently, she already has a list. Hopefully no gutters need cleaning though.

Sal

Haha. That was hilarious what happened on your birthday!

Nina

Nothing like a near-death experience to keep you smiling.

Sal

Lol.

Bess

Sorry about the whole Pierre thing. What an arsehole! We can put the world to rights over a vino when you’re back.

Nina

Deal, although I don’t think I’m going to be making any surprise journeys anytime soon. This one was a disaster!

Bess

Was it, though?

Nina

Did you not read my message earlier? Pierre is a complete waste of space.
