MAURA

I’m sorry Am. I just had a call from Guy. Something’s come up

AMELIE

I fucking KNEW this would happen

So what is it

MAURA

They’re going to bring up the therapy thing

AMELIE

Like WTF?

That stuff is *private*

MAURA

He said to say sorry. Says he tried to call you but you didn’t pick up

Sorry Am

AMELIE

He has NO RIGHT to put private stuff like that on fucking Showrunner

MAURA

There’s something else

It’s going to come out

About that fire. At school

AMELIE

FFS it’s like a million years ago

And it was a fucking ACCIDENT

MAURA

I know. I’m sorry Am

AMELIE

Stop apologising. None of this is down to you.

It’s Guy I’m pissed off with, not you
