Helen Norville : I was so nervous about meeting you.
Val Jennings : Oh, please. Has Dale met your parents yet?
Helen Norville : No.
Val Jennings : Will they be joining us for Easter?
Helen Norville : Um, I don't really have much contact with my family, actually. I haven't since I was a teenager. Things just got all... Just a bit...
Val Jennings : It can be a difficult time.
Helen Norville : Yeah.
Val Jennings : I made a lot of mistakes when Dale was that age. I'm sure you know.
Helen Norville : No.
Val Jennings : Dale's father died when he was 15 and I... I wasn't much of a mother for a good while. I went to pieces, really. Tried to hide it. That made it worse. Dae had to hold me together. For years.
Helen Norville : Well, I know that he adores you.
Val Jennings : I'm doing my best to make it up to him. That's all you can do, really, isn't it?
