Five to five in the evening. Damian is on the phone again. "Yes i know you spent ages on dinner. I'll microwave it when I get back. No i didn't think of that - it's fine. It's just one time."
From the other end of the store, Ash walks in to hear Damian talking. "Oh? Damian's in tonight? I Didn't think he was!"
Damian's back is to the counter and thus Ash. "Illegal? Staying on over time is not a breach of contract-"
Ash waves. "I haven't seen him around recently. Wonder how he's been?"
Damian's hand flail as he talks, back still to Ash. It reads IRRITATION. He scowls, his tone of voice reading FRUSTRATION. Ash winches, concluding he's ON THE PHONE AND IT'S TENSE.

Damian curtly states "I'll be fine."
Ash asks himself if that was a lie as Damian clenches his hand into a fist.
"No one is on the counters so i gotta go back - yes i will. MUM. Yes see you later."

Ash feels awkward he overheard this exchange.
