Hannah: Ernie! Hi! Are you there? Ernie: Hello, Hannah. How are you? Hannah: Oh, you know. Just getting ready for the party! She pauses and gives him a guilty look. You don't think I'm being irresponsible, do you? I just want to... You know, make people happy. Ernie: He is silent for a few seconds. It may make people happy. Hannah: What about you? Will it make you happy? Ernie: I do not know, Han. I am still slightly apprehensive. Hannah: Well. Um. I hope your apprehension doesn't prove necessary. Ernie: Susan said she would be there. Hannah: Look of worry is slowly replaced by a smile Yes, she will be. We went shopping for bathing suits together! She said you have to be there too. Ernie: I will. Justin will not. Hannah: Is deflated. I know, Ernie. Ernie: I find it difficult to find many things enjoyable when I know not the state he is in. He sighs loudly. Hannah: Tugs on her hair nervously. He's going to be fine. Okay? He's going to be fine. I know it. Ernie: I hope so. He clears his throat. Who else is coming? Hannah: Relieved to be on another subject. Oh, loads of people! Susan, Danny, Megan will be there of course, um, Lisa, Wayne, Parvati and Padma, Lavender, Neville, Terry... Ernie: Decent crowd. What time should I come by? Hannah: Yes, I think so! Smiles. And would you come early? Maybe eleven? You could help Megan and I finish setting up. Ernie: Yes, I will see you at eleven. He pauses. I must take leave now. Goodnight, Hannah. Hannah: Goodnight, Ernie. I'll see you soon. |
