[Jenna: How d’you mean?]
Harriet: When she dies. Winter’s easier, everyone’s all bundled up, rushing around busy and no one has to ask you, you don’t get asked�

END: Harriet: You know, I went to mum’s the other day, just to check up on her and stuff. Walked in and she’s sat in the coffin.

I was looking at her and I missed her.
