EXT. TORBAY GRAVEYARD - DAY
Emma stands up and turns away from James' grave where she sees Val standing in front of her.
Emma: Mom...
Val: Emma...
Emma: Look I'll go okay...
Val: I never asked you to...
Emma: Dad's grave doesn't seem the most appropriate place for us to argue...
Val: Just as well I wasn't gonna then eh?
Emma looks at Val confused.
Emma: But yesterday...
Val: Let's just blame that on high emotions, yeah?
Emma: I'm so sorry mom...honestly...
Val: I know you are...
The pair stand in silence for a moment, looking at James grave.
Emma: What do you think he'd say if he was here now?
Val: He'd be throwing the rule book at you...you'd never here the end of it...but he'd never have shopped you to the police, he cared for you too much...
Emma: If you only knew how guilty I feel...
Val: I can only imagine, and there's no point punishing you for it...becuase you'll be doing that inside forever more... besides I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you went to prison...
An emotional Val grabs hold of Emma's hand, and holds it tight.
Val: Now James is gone I need my girls here beside me...we can get through this if we stay together, so let's never mention this again okay?
Emma silently nods. Val gets out a tissue and whipes the tears from Emma's eyes.
Val: Come on, let's go home...
Val puts down a bunch of flowers on James grave, and the pair head off. The camera stays on James' gravestone.
JAMES ANDREWS - 1957 - 2007 - Loving Father, Loving Husband, Gone But Never Forgotton...
