Luca: My darling, I know I have been gone a long time, but I thought of nothing but you and our child during those painful years. Of getting back to you. Of being a family. Will you marry me, and make that dream come true?

Iona: Of course I will!

[vintageplumbobs]

Robert: ...Luca?

Luca: Hi, Robbie.

[vintageplumbobs]

Iona: Hello, Dad.

Russel: Hi...

Iona: Where’s Mum?

Russel: She- umm...she couldn’t make it.

George: Is she alright?

Russel: She just needed a little more time. You know...before she...

Iona: Has to talk about William?

Russel: It’s not easy for her...after...after everything with her sister and-

Iona: It’s not easy for any of us.

George: Iona-

Iona: Well, it’s not. 

[vintageplumbobs]

Robert: You’re back then.

Luca: ...I’m back.

Iona: I’ll leave you two to catch up.

[vintageplumbobs]

[vintageplumbobs]

Luca: ...well, hello.

[vintageplumbobs]

[vintageplumbobs]

Iona: LUCA?!

[vintageplumbobs]

Iona: Where to first?

Kathleen: Ummm...Iona...do you know that man? 

[vintageplumbobs]

Iona: Right, we need a stroller and a crib. I still have some of Peter’s old clothes, but we should probably get some more.

Kathleen: Anything else?

Iona: I’m sure we’ll find something!

[vintageplumbobs]

Iona: You...you’re saying YOU are going back to Champs Les Sims? Whatever for?!

Robert: Love.

Iona: Oh, Robbie. Come on. 

Robert: I mean it.

Iona: This is ridiculous! This girl is-

Robert: I know...we barely know each other...but...but I think we could have something really special, and...and if I don’t try, then...then I’ll never know. You’ve never done anything stupid for love?

Iona: ...you’re serious about this? Truly?

Robert: Truly. I leave tomorrow morning. 

[vintageplumbobs]

Iona: I...I’m sure he is, dear. But I’ll tell you what, why don’t you wait here with your mother and I’ll fetch your things for you. How does that sound?

Lydia: That sounds a terrific idea.

Freddie: Oh, alright...

[vintageplumbobs]

Lydia: Why don’t you go and pack your things, then we’ll head off.

Freddie: Ms...Ms Rothschild, is Peter alright?

[vintageplumbobs]

[vintageplumbobs]

Freddie: Home? But...our home was-

Lydia: I found us somewhere new. Somewhere safe and out of the way. So...what do you say?

Freddie: I’ve missed you so much, Mum!

[vintageplumbobs]

Freddie: What- wh...I can’t believe it. You...you’re here!

Lydia: I’m here! 

Iona: Your mother wanted to keep it a surprise.

Peter: Why are you here, exactly?

Iona: Peter. Don’t be rude.
