Episode 117: Alice and Paul talk
Alice:
Oh good evening Dr Laver.
Paul:
Alice, how are you?
Alice:
Exhausted. Just finished another long shift.
Paul:
Yes it's been busy here lately.
Alice:
I haven't seen you for ages. You're not avoiding me are you?
Paul:
Oh Alice. I've got such a lot on just now – juggling work and the children and half-term coming up too. There's just not enough of me to go around. I feel I'm constantly running just to stand still.
Alice:
Oh, I know it must be difficult but I can give you a hand. I know the babysitting wasn't great last time but I can help out in other ways. Look, how about a quick drink and we can talk about it?
- Sumarize the text.
- Why haven’t they met?
- Would they go out for a drink? Why? Why not?
