It's been a few hours. Corey managed to find a lot of applicants for the coach position. Right now, him and Bec are playing snooker, while Heath is reading the resumés people have sent. "All A Lie" by 78 Saab is playing in the background.

Heath: Not bad, Corey. I don't know where you found so many good candidates.

Corey: At this point, are you really surprised? That's what I do, mate.

Bec: So, when are we gonna interview them?

Heath: Possibly tomorrow.

[They hear a knock on the door]

Corey: Ugh, who is it now?

Bec: I'll go get it.

[Bec opens the door]

Bec: ... What are you doing here? I thought you were in Perth by now.

Fly: ... I missed my flight.

[Heath stops reading the resumes, once he realizes it's Fly. She comes in, and looks at him]

Fly: ... Is the coach position still open?

Heath: ... Yes. And it's yours if you want it.

Bec: (whispers to Corey) Let's go upstairs, and give them some privacy.

Corey: (whispers back) What, now? We're in the middle of a game.

Bec: (whispers back) Yes, now. Come.

[Bec and Corey go upstairs. It's just Heath and Fly now]

Fly: I want it.

Heath: ... Great. Then you're the coach.

Fly: You don't seem too thrilled about having me back.

Heath: Well, you made it clear that we'll never be a couple again, so that's to be expected. But don't worry, we're grown-ups now. We'll just have a strictly professional relationship.

Fly: ... I don't think I want that.

Heath: Then what do you want?

[Fly comes closer to him, and kisses him for the first time, in two decades. It feels amazing to both of them]

Fly: This.

Heath: ... What changed your mind?

Fly: The fact that I love you, and always will.

Heath: I love you more.

Fly: Not possible.

Heath: Is that a challenge? 'Cause you're on.

[They kiss again]

Heath: We'll always be together, from now on, alright? I promise.

Fly: I make the exact same promise. It's you and me forever.

[They start making out again. And then Fly stops it]

Fly: By the way, you better buy Perri a steak dinner. She's also a bit responsible for this.

Heath: ... What?

Fly: Meh, I'll explain later.

[They keep making out. Bec and Corey come downstairs, and see it]

Bec: ... I knew it. They belong together.

Corey: Yeah yeah, whatever. We gonna play snooker, or what?
