It’s Alice’s turn to be upset – has she ruined her relationship with Paul?
Helen: | Alice! Please don’t cry. |
Alice: | I can’t help it. I’ve just done the exact same thing as you. |
Helen: | What! You had a bust-up with Tim? |
Alice: | No, not with Tim, with Paul. |
Helen: | But why? |
Alice: | Oh I had to babysit Ellie and she just gave me the runaround. But then when Paul asked how it had been, I just completely lost it. I called him a bad dad and I said that she was spoiled rotten. |
Helen: | Oh no, that’s a bit harsh! |
Alice: | I know but I was so tired Helen. The words were out of my mouth before I could stop them. |
Helen: | Erm, do you think it’s maybe time for us to eat some humble pie? |
