Wildflower:

Funny,
we’ve
been
chatting
about
our
most
intimate
life
details

for
years
now
and
we
never
even
knew
each
other’s
real

names.
I’m
just
looking
down
the
witness
form
right
now,

LonelyLady

name

Wildflower:

Why
thank
you
Wildflower.

Right,
you
love
birds
I’m
off.
Enjoy
your
honeymoon
and
I

expect

never
see
you
in
here
again.
LonelyLady
good
luck

with
that
date.
SureOne
enjoy
the
start
of
the
rest
of
your
life,

and
Rosie
Dunne,
what
are
you
going
to
do?

Rosie:

What
do
you
mean
you’re
moving
to
Co.
Galway?

I
mean
exactly
that.
I’m
leaving
that
horrible
flat
in
Dublin
once
and

for
all
and
I’m
moving
to
Connemara
for
good.

But
why?

Ruby
there’s
nothing
there
for
me
in
Dublin.
Apart
from
you
of

course.
I
have
had
a
string
of
unsatisfactory
jobs,
have
no
family

there,
had
my
heart
broken
twice
there,
have
no
money,
and
no

man.
I
don’t
see
a
reason
why
I
should
stay.

Ruby:

Well
forgive
me
for
being
the
bearer
of
bad
news
but
you
have
no

job
in
Galway,
no
family,
and
no
man.
Unless
you’re
going
to
take

to
herding
sheep.

Rosie:

Oh
yes
the
common
city
person’s
misconception
of
the
country.

There
are
shops
and
restaurants
here
too
you
know.
Anyway
I
may

not
have
all
those
things
but
I
have
a
house
.

Ruby:

Rosie:

Have
you
gone
nuts
Rosie?

Probably!
But
think
about
it.
I
have
a
great
big
modern-built
4-

bedroom
house
right
on
the
coast
in
Connemara.

Exactly!
What
are
you
going
to
do
all
on
your
own
with
no
job,
in

a
4-bedroom
house,
hanging
off
the
cliff
in
Connemara?

You
could
be
close
to
guessing!

love,
rosie

Ruby:

Well
I
was
thinking
very
much
of
you
committing
suicide
so
I
hope

I’m
not.

Rosie:
No
silly!
I’m
opening
up
a
Bed
and
Breakfast!
And
I
know
I’ve
