Hello?
Frankie?

I'm doctor Tania.

I'm calling because your father...

Has just passed away.

I'm sorry.

Condolences, Frankie, I'm so sorry.
Heartfelt condolences...
I'm sorry, my condolences.
My condolences. We will all miss him...
Thanks...

Thank you all.
Frankie, do you want to go home?
No Luly, if you don't mind I'd like a few minutes alone.
Sure... I'll just wait for you outside then.

I love you...
Close the coffin

Ehi Lu, you alright?

Hi sweety!

Highs and lows, as usual

How are you doing?
Work went to shit today
Oh no 😟

What happened?
The boss threatened to fire me

Because I did not recognise a potential flaw in the authentication system of an app...
Oh shit!

But you're not in charge of that, are you?
Indeed, but he says that everyone involved in the project must have the
overall view
What an asshole 😠
What can I do

Anyway, would you like to eat out?

I feel like taking a break
Yeah, sure! 😺

I'm gonna get ready
Yeeeee

Ah you haven't told me

How was your appointment with the therapist today?
Nothing much

As usual

I brought up a few things, insecurities, fears etc.

I'll tell you more later, ok?
Alright

I'll pick you up in 20 minutes, ok?

On time, mind you 🙄
Ahah

I'll do my best

Later!

How about a week at the seaside?
At the seaside?

I didn't know you had a holiday home.
No!

We spend some days in a bed & breakfast, splash around in the water during the day and then wander around in the evening.

How does that sound?
Don't know, Lu...

I'm on a tightrope at work, I'd like to avoid unnecessary costs at the moment.
Don't worry!

I've already talked to my parents about it: it's a gift from them!
...You're kidding, right?
Nope, I'm serious!

Come on, it's cool, at least we get some alone time.

And after these shitty months we can get rest together...
Luly, I honestly don't feel like having your parents pay for a holiday.

And I'd have to pay for lunches and dinners anyway, so I don't think that's the best thing for me.
Bollocks Frankie, you don't have to spend anything, I'll pay for everything, you just have to come with me.

Is it so fucking hard to spend time with me?
No Lusinda, I didn't say that.

I said it's not the ideal time for me, and I don't want to get things paid by others...
What's wrong with you?

What is not good?

It's a fucking holiday, you don't have to spend anything, it's all paid for, we're on our own and we have some fun.

I think we deserve it, don't we?
Lu, please, I'd rather try not to be unemployed at the moment...
Fuck, Frankie, you've been working for a year without even taking a day off!

Not even when you spent nights in hospital!

And you think your boss doesn't give you three days off?
It's just that I'm also finishing that course on Design I told you about...

And the final exam should be soon.
Whatever, I get it.
Lu, really, it's a shit year.

Please, be patient.
Precisely beacause
it is a shitty year I ask you to give us this gift!

Life isn't falling apart for you only.

Good night.
Close your eyes
