Theo: Sorry I fell asleep on you last night
8.59 pm
Rose: Don't worry about it
9.12 pm
Theo: So why did you move house?
9.16 pm
Rose: Why does anybody move house?
9.27 pm
Theo: To get away from their neighbours
9.28 pm
Rose: Not this time
Rose: I liked my neighbours, they were nice
9.30 pm
Theo: Well, if that isn't the reason then what is?
9.35 pm
Rose: There's not just one reason why I moved
9.36 pm
Rose: There's a bunch of things that have piled up over the years and I just couldn't hold it all in anymore. I had to get away from it all
Rose: Does that make sense?
9.42 pm
Theo: It makes perfect sense
9.43 pm
Rose: Thanks for understanding
Theo: And not asking you too much questions about it?
10.01 pm
Rose: Yeah
Rose: I'm sorry, I'm just not ready to talk about things just yet
10.07 pm
Theo: It's fine
Theo: I understand what it feels like to have to put up with things for a while
10.11 pm
Theo: I think it's good that you moved. Sometimes you just need a change to clear your head, to make things better. You'll be able to think clearly then; you'll realise whether you've made the right decision or not
10.17 pm
Rose: Thanks, Theo
Rose: But you should consider taking your own advice
10.24 pm
Theo: What do you mean by that?
10.32 pm
Rose: I know that I'm not the only one keeping secrets
10.48 pm
Theo: You're a smart one, Rose
11.02 pm
Rose: I know
11.58 pm
Theo: Night
