Saturday evening

Chris 🤪
Hi Becs

Becs📚
Hey

Chris 🤪
It seems like ages since I spoke to you - is it okay if I call?

Becs📚
Sure, but it was only yesterday morning 🤣

Chris 🤪
I guess I got so used to speaking to you every morning that it feels really weird when I can't

Becs📚
And how did the big meeting go?

Chris 🤪
Well, the big news is that we're going to go out to Seoul in South Korea in a week or so to do some filming on location

Becs📚
Wow. 😮 South Korea? That's amazing - you're really lucky to get to go there

Chris 🤪
I guess

Becs📚
You don't seem very pleased about it

Chris 🤪
Well, I doubt I'll get to see much of it. We'll only be there a couple of weeks and we'll be pretty busy the whole time

Becs📚
That's a shame - I bet it's an amazing place

Chris 🤪
Yeah. But the other thing is, it's going to be really hard for me to call you while I'm there - the shooting schedule will be crazy and there's a thirteen hour time difference between Boston and South Korea

Becs📚
Okay

Chris 🤪
You're not bothered?

Becs📚
I'm sure it'll be fine - we're not exactly going to wither away if we can't talk to each other for a couple of weeks 😆 you can still message occasionally if you need to say something

Chris 🤪
You could at least pretend to be a little upset

Becs📚
I'm sorry. 😩 How will I cope? Sob sob 😭 😭

Chris 🤪
Now you're mocking me

Becs📚
😁

Incoming call from Chris

Chris
You're really not bothered?

Becca
<Shrugging> I guess I've just gotten used to being apart from people - I've been over here for seven months, away from my family and most of my friends.

Chris
I never thought of that

Becca
And it's only a couple of weeks...

Chris
I guess. So what are you up to tonight?

Becca
Absolutely nothing - Ella is away for the weekend, Viv is out with a friend from work and I have a rare evening with nothing planned and no one here. Right now I'm just scrolling through the tv channels looking for some junk to watch.

Chris
Do you want some company? I'm not doing anything either, I could come over.

Becca
Thanks, but it's not a problem. I actually quite like being alone sometimes

Chris
Are you sure? We could watch a film

Becca
No, I'm fine-ooh Beauty and the Beast is starting in a minute!

Chris
That's perfect! I could come over and watch that

Becca
No offence, but I'd rather not - the flat is a right mess and I'm already in my pyjamas. If you were to come over I'd have to tidy up and take a shower and get dressed, and I've had a really busy day so I'm feeling too tired to do any of that
