SARA: I hate you. I hate you so fucking much.

MATTIAS: No, you don’t.

SARA: I keep getting these rages of anger when I just want to punch you in the face. How could you have lied to me all these years? And why was I so fucking blind that I didn’t notice? I lived with you for fuck’s sake? I knew you better than anyone else and it turns out I didn’t know you at all?

MATTIAS: It’s not your fault. It was never your fault. I didn’t know myself. Well, maybe I did a little, but you know when there is something about you, that you just get good at hiding? I think it was a bit like that. It was something I chose not to be. I think.

SARA: You're a fucking idiot.

MATTIAS: Agree.

SARA: I don’t hate you. I loved you so bloody much and it just hurts. It hurts that all we had was a lie.

MATTIAS: What we had was never a lie. Never. We were young and immature, and we were in love, remember? I mean I was there too. We can’t just forget that we had good times. We would never have lasted as long as we did if we didn’t have good times.

SARA: Remember that cycling holiday Guri forced us to come on?

MATTIAS: OMG. Worst holiday ever.

SARA: It was fun though. Remember we told everyone we were going to go a different route and ended up shoving those damn bikes on the back of a truck and getting a lift to the nearest bar. We were totally drunk by the time the others rolled in.

MATTIAS: See? We had fun. There were some good times. When we were good, we were really good.

SARA: And when we were bad, I felt like I was living in a nightmare that I just couldn’t wake up from. You can be a total arse when you want to be.

MATTIAS: Christopher says I shout at him. I never realised I shout.

SARA: You shout. It’s a bit frightening when you get into one of your rants.

MATTIAS: I’m going to try not to shout.

SARA: I’m going to try to find a new partner. A Single one. Who is straight.

MATTIAS: You need to find someone who deserves you. I never did.

SARA: And there you go again, trying to sweet talk me into liking you again.

MATTIAS: You like me, babe. You always have.

SARA: I like you a little. When I don’t hate you.

MATTIAS: Have a good week. I will remember to pick up Emi tonight and I promise not to feed her chocolate. All week. It will be all organic fruit and veg and nutrition. All healthy stuff. Promise.

SARA: Oh, fuck off, Mattias.

MATTIAS: Love you, babe.

SARA: I love you too. A little. I still hate you. FUCK!! You are GAY. G.A.Y. You like cock. I need a gin and tonic. A double. And it’s only six in the morning. See? You ruin my life. Every day.

MATTIAS: Go get Emi up. Give her a kiss from her daddy.

SARA: Is Christopher still with you? Go give him a kiss from me. That’s the closest I will get to a hot dude these days.

MATTIAS: Leave Christopher alone. He’s mine.

SARA: Rub it in, won’t you? I’m going to have a cup of tea before I wake Emi, and a browse on Tinder.

MATTIAS: Good. Speak later.
