How are you holding up, kiddo?

[footprintsinthesand]

Just really, really tired.

[newhorizon]

Do you want to go home and getting a little sleep? You need to take care, we don't want you getting ill. I can stay with Jules.

[footprintsinthesand]

Would that be okay? As much as I want to be stubborn, I can't do what other partners can do. I feel bad about that. I want to be here for him.

[newhorizon]

Of course. Harley, he knows you're ill. He'll want you to rest if you feel like you need to. Please don't feel bad, you're his world. He wants to take care of you.

[footprintsinthesand]

I guess so. He's my world too. I was terrified something awful happened to him again when I got that message.

[newhorizon]

I'm sorry to have scared you. I knew he would want you there, that's all. As soon as he realised we were calling an ambulance on him, he wanted you to be called because he was supposed to meet you at work.

[footprintsinthesand]

Yeah, we were going to have dinner and shoot to try to plan the wedding again. I think we should just take the hint. This wedding isn't going to happen.

[newhorizon]

Maybe just get married, don't worry about the wedding.

[footprintsinthesand]

But I thought you kind of expected and needed Jules to have the whole massive prominent wedding thing...

[newhorizon]

That was never me, buddy. That was me going along with his mother. She probably does still expect that, but you need to do what's best for you and Jules. That's all that matters.

[footprintsinthesand]

I... wow. I don't think he knows that. I think he feels like he might disappoint you if he doesn't do it the big, huge traditional way.

[newhorizon]

I'll talk to him about it. A lot's changed in life for all of us recently. What sort of wedding would you like?

[footprintsinthesand]

You're a lot easier to talk to. I was pretty intimidated in the early days that I wouldn't be what you wanted for Jules. Small, quite, stress-free.

[newhorizon]

I know I wasn't the most approachable person when we first met, and I apologise profusely for that. It was an incredibly difficult time. You and Jules should get married however you need to. You have my complete blessing.
