Grace goes into the kitchen and comes back with a wine glass. She pours Ellie a glass of wine and passes it to her. "Why did Jim leave?"

"Jim left because he's been cheating on me. I actually kicked him out, but I couldn't stay in the flat. I just needed some time away from there. I might actually sell it and find a place on my own." Ellie sips her wine and sinks back in her chair.

"Don't make any hasty decisions, Ellie. You've been in that flat for a long time." Grace reassures her daughter.

"I know mum. That's why I'm taking some time away from the situation." Ellie says seriously.
