Great 👍🏻 speak to you later then

Chris 🤪
Are you still awake Becs?
Becs📚
Yes <yawn>
Chris 🤪
Sorry it's so late. Is it okay if I call?
Becs📚
Sure
Incoming call from Chris
Becca
Hey there
Chris
Hi. Sorry that I'm so much later than I said, things ran on really late.
Becca
That's okay
Chris
I was worried you'd already be in bed, asleep
Becca
Well I am actually in bed, but I'm watching tv
Chris
What are you watching? Anything good?
Becca
Yeah - Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It's really funny, have you seen it?
Chris
I think I might have seen the odd episode round Scotty's - I think he watches it. I don't really get a lot of time to watch tv
Becca
I guess work must keep you pretty busy
Chris
You have no idea - if I'm not filming then I'm doing the publicity for it
Becca
You like it though, right?
Chris
Most of it I love, but there's bits of it I hate, but I guess that's like any job
Becca
Yeah
Chris
Listen, I feel like I need to apologise about the whole 'inviting you to come and visit the set' thing
Becca
Why?
Chris
It was obviously way too soon. I mean, we've only been messaging for a few weeks, of course you don't feel comfortable coming to stay. You barely know me
Becca
There's no need to apologise Chris, most people would have bitten your hand off-
Chris
<Laughing> They would have what?
Becca
Bitten your hand off. Is that not a phrase that you use over here?
Chris
Only for zombies and wild animals and stuff
Becca
Oh, sorry. Back home it means that someone would be very keen to accept something. Think of a dog grabbing a treat from someone's hand.
Chris
<Laughing>
Becca
Anyway, most people would have bitten your hand off at the chance to go on set and meet the cast
Chris
But not you?
Becca
Oh I'd love to...just...not this soon. I...um...I kind of struggle with letting new people into my life. I can be a little...
Chris
<Laughing> Guarded? Wary? Closed off?
Becca
Yeah. You noticed that, huh?
Chris
Kinda hard not to
Becca
Sorry
Chris
Don't apologise. We can't help who we are.
Becca
Maybe we can take a rain check
Chris
Yeah, I'd like that.
