Summary[]
It's the longest night of David's life when he takes Bianca on a driving lesson. Cindy goes looking for a diversion after a night from hell with Ian.
|
Cindy and Ian are still arguing after Kathy's dinner. Cindy is really fed up and hates Ian and her boring life. she refuses to sleep with Ian and says she'll sleep in Steven's room. Ian shrugs and goes to bed. She gets up early for a walk at about 6am when it gets light, as she can't sleep. Bianca meets David for the driving lesson and she's all dressed up as she's seeing Tiffany later. She insists on going somewhere more quiet and having a longer drive. David gets nervous and keeps on saying they should go back as they've come a long way. Later, when Bianca realises the time - 7.30pm - she says she was supposed to be meeting Tiffany at 8pm. She turns around in a gateway (they're in the middle of the country now). David says he'll drive back. Bianca stalls the car, so she gets out. The car won't start again. They despair, both are annoyed and walk to find a phone box. Bianca twists her ankle on the grass verge at one point and whinges a lot. It gets dark and they can't find a phone box - the first one they eventually find is out of order. Eventually they get a lift from a lorry and get dropped off at a phone box. Bianca calls her mother, but it's engaged. David phones Ricky and tells him to go and inform Carol where they are. David then phones a breakdown truck, but since they are totally lost, they have to give him very vague directions and it doesn't look too hopeful. They walk all the way back to the car and have to sit there for hours. The truck comes at 5am and Ricky went to the Vic and forgot to tell Carol. So when they get home, Carol shouts at David and he can't explain as she wont let him get a word in edgeways. He wanders off towards the car lot office and sees Cindy walking in the Square. She asks what happened to the car, he says it's a very long story. He advises her not to teach anyone to drive and begins to tell her what happened with Bianca. They go to the portacabin for a drink and whinge about their problems. As Cindy is about to leave, she comes back from the door and they suddenly have a rather passionate embrace. |
