Alice and Paul’s evening out starts to go badly wrong. Why is Paul reluctant to talk about Lucy?
| Alice: | Paul, you’re so naive sometimes. |
| Paul: | I’m more realistic than you think I am Alice. |
| Alice: | What? |
| Paul: | It’s just that Lucy’s having second thoughts about the divorce. |
| Alice: | Well it’s too late now to change her mind. You did tell her that? |
| Paul: | Not exactly. |
| Alice: | Not exactly? You’re not thinking about getting back together with her? |
| Paul: | Well she asked me to reconsider. She said we’d had a trial separation before and maybe now it was time to think about a trial living together period; see if we could be a family again. |
| Alice: | Paul! |
| Paul: | We’re trying to make our marriage work. It was a real one, Alice, with two lovely kids. It’s them I’m thinking about. |
| Alice: | But what about us? |
