Robert: Have you completely lost your mind? What will your mother think? You’re supposed to be the sensible one. You always do the right thing.

Just an old(ish) man and his dog.

Kathleen and Robbie went for a romantic picnic in the park.

[vintageplumbobs]

Robert: Doctor Peters has offered me a prescription, I think I should take it.

Kathleen: A prescription? Whatever for? 

Robert: Well...for when my mood gets very low. Or very high. It would level me out a bit. 

Kathleen: You’re just going to start taking some drug now? What is it?  

Robert: Lithium Carbonate. It’s perfectly safe, I promise.

Kathleen: I don’t know about this, Robbie. I’ve never heard of this- this thing. 

Robert: I...I think I should at least try it. If it can help, then...I just don’t want to be ruled by my shadow. 

Kathleen: ...alright. But if...if anything happens, if you feel unwell, then...

Robert: If I feel unwell, I promise I will set it aside.

Baby time!

[vintageplumbobs]

It’s Agatha’s birthday!

[vintageplumbobs]

Robert: Get down here this instant, young man!

[vintageplumbobs]

Robert: Boys! Dinner!

[vintageplumbobs]

Kathleen: No?!

Robert: Please don’t yell.

Kathleen: Robbie, you need to talk to me. You can’t just up and leave your job, this is a family decision.

Robert: It’s my decision and that’s final. You’re being unreasonable.

Kathleen: You’re...you’re different. Has something happened?

Robert: No.

Kathleen: Look me in the eye.

Robert: ...I’m not having this conversation again. Leave it alone.

[vintageplumbobs]

Another day, another prank.

[vintageplumbobs]

Robert: I’d love to. 

[vintageplumbobs]

Kathleen: Robbie...

Robert: Yeah, honey?

Kathleen: I’ve been thinking, and I was wondering if you wanted to try for another baby?

Robbie has returned to writing, focusing his energies on a new ghost story.

Robert: I have to do this.

Kathleen: What you have to do is look after your family. 

Robert: This is looking after my family. You wouldn’t understand-

Kathleen: Why not try and explain? I’m sure there’s some compromise, or-

Robert: No.
