Do you need time and space

to think?

So that you don't call and text me.

If you can give me that.

Okay, we're going to need your NHS number.

I'm Swedish, I don't have one. I have a driver's license.

Thank you.

Ridiculous, isn't it? Yeah.

How long have you been here for?

Uh, it's been half eight, so what, five hours now.

Yeah.

What happened to him?

Uh, he fell off the kitchen counter.

Ouch. Yep.

And his head took quite a bash.

I mean, although he seems quite fine now.

Yeah.

What about you?

Well, I just, uh, fell.

Hurt my hand.

Okay, come here.

See ya.

See ya.

Okay, come here. Let's see what we've got.

Well,

that's all we've got.

Water. Water.

We can't, can we? Because if the doctor comes out and we're not here,

it's not good, is it?

I can go buy something, if you want.

It's okay.

No, I'm going to go buy something anyway. I don't have to move my legs.

Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What does he want?

Any sandwich will be fine. Thank you.

Do you want coffee?

Oh, yeah, can I order a coffee?

Yeah. Thank you.

Let me, um... Oh, shit, I've only got my card.

No, no, no, it's fine. Are you sure? Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

Thanks.

Oh, my baby, yeah. Oh, thank you.

What's your name?

David. David, I'm Joanna.

Theo! Theo, what's your name?

Theo. Nice to meet you, Theo.

When did you get this wound?

Just a couple weeks ago, and then I fell yesterday, and it split open again and

I started bleeding.

This is very infected, and I don't want to reach this infection to your tissues.

Okay.

I will clean it, but also I'm going to prescribe you antibiotics.

You will start right away, three times a day for ten days.

Yeah.

Oh, hi.

How did it go?

Good. Got a bandage and some pills.

Okay. I'll see you.

Yeah, he's fine. Thank God. His dad just picked him up.

Yeah.

Oh,

great.

This is just what you want when you've been inside for hours.

Yeah.

Well, it's really nice meeting you. Okay, you too. Take care. Bye. Bye.

Where are you going?

Sorry, what? Where are you headed?

Um, the tube. West.

Okay, well, do you want to left, or?

Yeah, I'll... Yeah, it's just this way. Through here. Yeah.

Do you want to make it run for it? Yeah, okay.

So,

what

are you doing in London?

Just hanging out, working.

I live with a friend.

Where do you work?

Platform customer service.

Oh, you're kidding. Do you know Stephen Lowry?

Yeah, I don't know him, but he's like the boss.

Why? Do you know? Yeah, he's an old friend of my ex -husband's.

Really? Yeah, his dad. Wow.

Small world.

Small world.

What do you do?

I am an architect.

Like housing or more?

Mainly commercial construction.

Yeah, offices, warehouses, hospitals, that sort of thing.

I'm working on a pretty cool project right now. That's residential.

It's called the London Sphere. Have you heard of it? No.

It's like 1 ,500 student flats.

1 ,500?

Yeah, it's a lot, but good fun.

And it's a great course.

The housing situation in the States is just so shit. Yeah.

It's crazy.

Here we are.

Thank you so much for the ride. Yeah, of course.

You okay there? Yeah, I don't know.

All right, bye.

All right, take care. Bye.

Bye.

What the fuck was that?

I don't know.

Not even four?

No, no.

What was that?

What the fuck was that?

What the fuck was that? What the fuck was that? Fuck!

What was that?

Fuck!

What the hell?

What happened, David?

I forgot my damn brush in a car.

What the hell?

Whose car, David?

I'm just speaking. Hi, Joanna. It's David from the hospital.

Hi, David.

How are you doing?

Good, thanks.

But I think I forgot my meds in your car, maybe.

Yes, you did.

I've got them, don't worry. Okay, good.

Can I maybe come pick them up somewhere?

Yeah, of course. No problem. I'm at home, so do you want to pop by here to

them? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can do that.

Awesome. Thank you.

Perfect. All right, I'll see you in a bit. Yes. All right, bye. Bye.

Bye.

Hi. Hi.

Come on in.

Thanks.

How are you doing?

Good, and you?

Yeah, yeah, did you find it okay?

Yeah, I had trouble finding the exit on the tube, but I'm here.

Yeah, you're here now.

Well, there you go.

Oh, thank you so much. You're very welcome.

Oh, give me a sec, hold up.

For Theo's food.

No, no, no, no, no. No, it was only like five quid.

Okay, well, thank you again.

Thank you.

Could I maybe get a glass of water?

Yeah, sure.

Come on in.

You don't have to take your shoes off.

Sorry,

I'm slowly taking them off.

Come on.

We're just through here.

I'll get you some water out of the fridge.

Nice.

little Theo.

Oh yeah, he's really small there.

Is he home?

No, he's at his dad's.

So cute.

Yeah.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

All good?

Yeah. So this is the famous countertop.

This is the famous gout I thought, yeah.

Literally, I think I turned away for a couple of seconds and I could just see

the corner of my eye him, like, crawl up and then... Must be tough when things

happen to your kid like that. Oh, my God, you feel so shit.

How's that water?

Awesome, yeah.

Really, really delicious.

Can I, um, I don't know, get you anything else, or... Do you want a glass

wine?

Yeah.

You sure?

Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

Especially after the day that we've had.

Pinot Noir, I hope that's all right with you.

Yeah, nothing.

Well,

cheers. Cheers.

Good, right?

I've been working there for, like, I don't know, what is it now, six months

something like that. Yeah.

And I have this script in my head, so I know exactly what to say at all times to

make them think that I'm listening to them.

But I really don't. I'm just, you know, on my phone scrolling, and when they

talk, I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand.

I can, you know, but, you know? No, I get it. Like, I had a very brief course

a career back in uni. Yeah? Yeah.

Where? IBM.

Back in the day, IBM were the shit. Like, they paid really good money. They,

like, employed all the students. So it was, like, good in that sense. But, oh,

it was horrendous. I think I lasted two weeks before I got back. Two weeks. Two

weeks. God, I was so shit.

I think I'm pretty shit at it, too, to be honest.

Yeah. But, um, I mean, it's work, you know. I need to do something, and I

plan on staying there forever.

No. What do you want to do?

I know I want to make a shit ton of money somehow.

Sounds good. I have a beautiful mansion at the beach of California.

Oh, really?

A couple of private jets. Oh, nice.

Yeah.

And a bunch of kids. A bunch of kids? How many do you want?

Five.

I've got one and that's a lot. You want five?

Yeah. I really like the idea of, you know, little...

mini me running around with my own kids, you know?

Yeah, it is amazing, I add.

But it's also horrendous at the same time.

Honestly, you love them more than anything else in this world, but they're

these little dickheads.

Honestly.

Do you come from a big family?

No.

It's just... It's been me and my mum.

Yeah.

Are you from London?

No, I'm from up north, near Manchester.

Ooh, I'm a huge Manchester United fan.

Oh, I'm a sworn sissy fan. No!

Yes! Yes!

No, don't be worse. Come on.

Have you seen them play?

No, but that's, like, at the top of my bucket list to see them play at Old

Trafford. Yeah, you should while you're here.

Yeah, I'm going to try to bribe my roommate to...

Come with me. He's not that football interested, but... Is he Swedish too?

Yeah. Yeah? Yeah.

How long have you guys lived together?

Just a couple of weeks.

Yeah. Where do you guys live?

South Kensington.

Oh, fancy.

But I used to live in Dalston. I really liked it there.

How come you made it?

I used to live there with my girlfriend, and now I don't anymore.

Ah, okay.

Yeah.

Did you guys split up, or...? We're kind of on hold right now.

Um... I found out that she was with another guy behind my

back, and, um... Yeah, so...

Sorry, did I just kill the vibe?

No.

No, I'm sorry. You went through that. That's really tough.

We were together for seven years.

That's a long time.

Yeah. Yeah.

Are you okay? Like, how are you doing?

I mean, some days are good, but, yeah, some days are pretty bad.

It gets better.

Trust me.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

It's good to hear.

Theo's dad messed around behind my back, so I know that going through something

like that is really fucking tough.

It's like, I don't know, it changes your perception of the world, doesn't it?

Yeah. Everything that you thought, You knew you'd just take a different turn.

Yeah, totally.

Did you leave him, or...? Yeah, I did.

Eventually.

We tried to do that whole making things work, you know, at the start, but there

were just so many issues between us that we just, we couldn't fix it.

Did you love him, though?

I think I was...

In love with the idea of, you know, like, us being a family with Theo

and leaving him was, like, one of the hardest fucking things I've ever done.

But once I did, it was... I kept, like, a relief.

Thanks for the wine. Yeah.

And everything.

No worries. You're welcome. Yeah.

Oh, wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

Oh. You're going to need those. Oh, my God.

Am I stupid or what? Yeah, not in the five -hour wait.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Thank you for the lovely time. Yeah.

It was nice chatting with you, so.

Yeah, thank you.

Okay, yeah.

How old are you?
