Is it?<br />
FLORENCE<br />
They have reached the tidal turning point in their row.<br />
Tentatively, EDWARD stretches out a hand and rests it on her<br />
shoulder. She does not turn, but nor does she resist him.<br />
They hear the birdsong again.<br />
At last she turns.<br />
FLORENCE (CONT’D)<br />
Is it a nightingale?<br />
EDWARD<br />
It’s a blackbird.<br />
At night?<br />
FLORENCE<br />
EDWARD<br />
It must be a prime site he’s on. He’s<br />
doing overtime, having to work hard...<br />
Like me.<br />
She can’t help herself - her laughter is spontaneous and<br />
delighted. EDWARD’S remark brings back to her the man she fell<br />
in love with.<br />
Encouraged, he tries to take her hand. But she slips away. As<br />
the laughter dies on her lips, she is coming to a momentous<br />
decision.<br />
FLORENCE<br />
Edward... no, please. There’s<br />
something I want to say to you. It’s<br />
not...<br />
She is on the edge of changing her mind.<br />
What?<br />
EDWARD<br />
FLORENCE<br />
You know I love you.<br />
Still.<br />
EDWARD
