"Wait what! You guys know eachother?" Sal said smiling at Cheryl and Murr.
"Uh well... yeah" Murr replied.
"Well James meet-" Sal began. In that moment he realised the truth.
"I'm so sorry" She said to Sal. Cheryl handed him the painting although she think they were already over.
"What's this?" He asked her.
"I'm uh.. breaking up with..you" She managed to get out.
Q gave Sal a look of sympathy.
"And I guess your the ex" Sal said to Murr.
Murr looked down to the ground. Sal stormed off.

Q gave Murr a look of disgust and went off to find Sal.
"How dare you" Murr said to Cheryl .
"What! How dare you Murr. You have gotten in touch as soon as I started dating him. To be honest he is better off without you and me!" She said to him and walked off.

Joe came up to the balcony and asked
"What's going on?"

Murr explained to Joe everything that has happened and to be fair, Joe was very surprised.

Sal stormed off into the cafe that was about 10 minutes away from where they were filming. From my distance I could see a man who looked quite upset and angry. I wasn't going to go over as I didn't know who he was and I'd rather sit and drink my coffee in peace. I could see him approaching me so I decided to look the opposite way, looking out of the window. The line at the counter was quite long and more people came nearer to my table. As someone pushed Sal he accidentally bumped into my table and tipped my coffee and broke my mug.
"Oh my goodness.... I'm so sorry" Sal said to me. His green eyes were looking into my blue eyes.
"Oh..it's okay" I replied.
He knelt down to pick up the broken pieces. I also went down to the floor to help. We both reached for the same piece of shattered glass, his hand covered mine. He looked up at me and smiled. We both laughed nervously as we both got up.
"Thanks for helping" I said with a smile.
"No problem. So uhh what's your name?" He nervously asked.
"I'm Emily" I replied.
"Hey Emily, I'm Sal" he replied.
We again nervously laughed. I placed the glass in the bin as Sal went to order his drink. I sat back down at my table and kept looking over at Sal. He also kept turning back to me. He came over with two cups of coffee.
"Really thirsty hey?" I joked, followed by a laugh.
"Nah, this is for you..to replace the other one" he said handing me the coffee.
"That's too sweet, thanks" I said taking the coffee.
He pulled up a chair and sat opposite me.
"So what was wrong?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" He replied.
"Earlier. You looked angry" I said honestly.
"Well..my ex was hanging round with her ex who was my best friend. And to be perfectly honest we weren't really suited for eachother" he said, a bit sheepishly.
"Ohh" I said back. It was a bit awkward.
"So.. what's your plans?" He asked me.
"Now? I might go for a walk!" I said.
Sal looked outside and saw Q coming down to the cafe.
"Can I come?" Sal pleaded.
"Uh yeah if you want" I said.
We both got up and left. Sal put his hand round my back and we walked the opposite direction to Q.
