| CLAIRE: "Now, who turned the telly off? Don't they know how much you love your nature shows? (She turns off the tv). That's better. So how are you today Mum? Did you have an okay night? There's umm, something I have to tell you, Mum, something I should have told you a long time ago. [pause] I'm pregnant. I err, I'm giving it away, it's for the best. I wish—I don't know how you did it… raising me alone? It must have been so hard. And I was just awful, awful… so horrible to you. [crying] I'm so sorry, Mum. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for all the awful things I said to you in the car; that I hated you; and that I wished you weren't my mother; and I wished you were dead. It's all my fault, the accident and everything. I'm so sorry, Mum. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I'll see you soon, okay?" |
