INT. LIVING ROOM - DAY #5#

Julia, still in the black dress, walks into the living room where a group of people have gathered around a memoriam of Nathalie. She makes her way to SIMON, Nathalie's boyfriend.

SIMON

Where were you just now?

JULIA

Grabbed a coffee on the way back, then the bus was a no-show.

SIMON

Hope it was a good coffee.

JULIA

My phone gave out, can you believe it? Someone paid for it though.

SIMON

That's nice. How are you?

JULIA

I'm so tired. Just now in the middle of the speech I think I just dissociated, was completely somewhere else. How are you?

SIMON

I probably shouldn't say this.

JULIA

What?

SIMON

Relieved? For her, for me?

JULIA

She was lucky to have a partner like you through all this. And that you're relieved she's no longer in pain isn't something to feel guilty about.

SIMON

(moved)

Do you ever stop?

JULIA

With what?

SIMON

Being a big sister to everyone?

JULIA

Not to you.

She hugs him.

JULIA

Get a drink?
