Joe! I'm going! They said I could go!

[Joe & Jess hug tightly]

Oi, oi, oi!

I'm sorry, I forgot.

That's okay now. I'm not your coach anymore. We can do what we want.

[Joe leans in to kiss Jess. Jess wants to, but pulls back]

Joe...

Your dad's not here, is he?

Joe... I'm sorry.

What?

I can't

Can I ask why?

Letting me go to America is a big step for my mum and dad. I don't know how they'd survive if I told them about you too.

I understand
[Both sorrowfully hug each other tightly]
