Ruweena and Zoe were best friends - well, sort of. Actually, it was more like Ruweena followed Zoe everywhere, from lunchtime to after school and even to uni, while Zoe kind of… tolerated her.
Then, six years ago, Ruweena disappeared and left Zoe all alone. Zoe likes it better this way. Doesn't she? So why is it that she still keeps the single bed they used to sleep in - why is it that she lets Ruweena kiss her the moment Ruweena reappears?
And why does it feel as if there's something terribly, awfully wrong with the bed they used to call theirs?

Years ago, Max asked Simon out, who turned him down. The two have remained friends, and get on the same train after seeing mates from university. Their conversation reveals that Max has gone onto have a thriving career and adopt children with his husband, whereas Simon is single and less successful.
Eventually, Simon confesses his belief that if he had said yes, all those years ago, he and Max would still be together now. Max admits that he thinks the same, and asks Simon why he didn’t say yes. Simon replies that he was scared by how Max made him feel, but kept this a secret, assuming someone as confident as Max would never understand. Max says that he was also scared, but that that was why he asked Simon out, reasoning “what’s the point of dating someone who doesn’t give you butterflies?”
A shocked Simon is left pondering this as Max gets off at his station. The train leaves and enters a tunnel, plunging Simon – now alone – into darkness.
Amy reluctantly returns home to the windy clifftop in North Cornwall where she grew up, after a break-up with her partner Jess has left her homeless. She hopes her mum, Sue, will be pleasantly surprised at the chance for them to reconnect.
But Sue isn't good with surprises, and has other things on her mind. She is preparing to plant a bare root hedge, her final act of resistance against the second home development that will surround her home, concreting over her memories and erasing her past.
They start early: digging in the hedge is backbreaking work.
When Amy finally manages to tell Sue about her loss, Sue is lost for words. They doggedly continue planting, gradually finding a rhythm together in the silence.
As night falls, and exhaustion sets in, Sue returns to the house, and Amy is left in the field, digging the last trench for the remaining plants. Alone, they each find a way to reach out across the silence, the years of separation, and their losses, towards each other.
