119 INT. COTTAGE. DAY<br />

119<br />

An hour later. The place is far less cluttered than before. Not<br />

much modernised. The untidiness is of a man living alone. But<br />

the interior of the cottage is instantly recognizable. The<br />

furniture is unchanged. Along one wall, a large cd collection.<br />

There are some records scattered along a shelf above the hi-fi.<br />

Edward’s cricket shoes are on the floor along with a half<br />

when she walked to the cricket ground<br />

all those years ago...<br />

VOICE OVER (CONT’D)<br />

It rather amazed him, that he had let<br />

that girl with her violin go. Finally<br />

he could admit it, he had never met<br />

anyone he loved as much, never found<br />

anyone who matched her seriousness.<br />
