00:05Who will he choose?
00:07Home and Away's Valentine's Week, next.
00:10Previously on Home and Away...
00:14I love you too, but I can't be with you, no matter how much I want to be.
00:19If you don't know me at all, how could you possibly know I'm bad for your son?
00:23When you're a mother, you'll understand.
00:25Because my mum left us both after she lost her marbles.
00:27Because I killed her abusive, violent husband.
00:30I can't believe you're just sitting on it.
00:32And I can't believe you told her.
00:33You can let a virtual stranger move in with you,
00:35and I'm freaking out about living with my own boyfriend.
00:38That's probably all that talk about, us buying a house and moving in together.
00:49That went down well. You want another one?
00:51Oh, no thanks.
00:53Are you sure? Dinner might not be ready for a little while still.
00:57You know what, I might skip dinner if that's okay.
00:58I'm not really, um, that hungry.
01:00Why? You gonna eat?
01:02Yeah, I'll get something on the way home.
01:03I just don't really feel like socialising.
01:05What? Socialising? It's just ruby.
01:08Yeah, thanks all the same, but I'd rather just be alone.
01:10By the sounds of it, that would suit you down to the ground.
01:13Come on, please.
01:14Don't be like this.
01:18Can't you see? It'd be far worse if I wasn't honest with you.
01:22Hey?
01:24Hi, and, um, and bye. I'm off.
01:26Oh, I thought you were staying for dinner.
01:27I was a bit this bad to change the plane.
01:29I'll catch you all, kiddo.
01:30Okay, bye.
01:32Let's go down the coast tomorrow.
01:34I want to check out the waves at Reefden.
01:36Sorry, I'm hanging out with Zave.
01:39If you want to say something, say it.
01:41I just can't take it seriously when you say he's your best mate.
01:44Because?
01:45Well, for starters, you didn't tell him the truth about Dad.
01:47We're both lying about that, and you know why.
01:49So what are you talking about?
01:50No, I mean about how you let him hit you to save Mum.
01:53Why are you so ashamed of that?
01:55Yeah, well, it's not something I want to brag about,
01:57and it's behind me, so that's where it can stay.
02:01Okay, my boyfriend just left me,
02:02so maybe I'm not the best person to be speaking to about this,
02:04but are you insane?
02:06It's not insane to want my own space.
02:08No, but after everything you've been through
02:11in the past couple of months,
02:12the thing that scares you the most
02:13is moving in with someone who loves you to death.
02:17Okay, when you put it like that,
02:18it does sound a bit crazy.
02:21I don't understand either.
02:23It's just the way I feel.
02:24I thought things were good, like, better than good.
02:26Yeah, they have been.
02:28Well, then I don't understand what the problem is.
02:31When he brought it up,
02:33literally, I couldn't breathe.
02:36I need to be able to breathe, Roops.
02:38Okay, I just don't understand what's so hard.
02:40You've always had housemates.
02:44Actually, have you ever lived with a boyfriend before?
02:48Oh, my gosh, you haven't, have you?
02:50Have you ever lived with a boyfriend before?
03:01I don't know.
03:05Haven't you got something more constructive to do?
03:07Than this?
03:09Nope.
03:12Um, I'm waiting for Romeo to come over,
03:14then I'll get out of your hair.
03:15Oh, how is Romeo?
03:16Good, I guess.
03:17No, he's been hanging out with Mink a lot lately,
03:19so today we're going surfing.
03:21And no Mink?
03:22I hope not.
03:24You were kind of right about her being trouble.
03:27She can really be annoying.
03:30Was that the sound of hell freezing over?
03:32Yeah, yeah, go ahead and enjoy it.
03:35You don't actually mean I was right, do you?
03:37It may never happen again.
03:39So, what happened?
03:40Well, she sort of...
03:43Hey.
03:44Hey.
03:44Hi, Romeo, nice to see you.
03:46Uh, I want to apologise on behalf of my sister.
03:49Really?
03:50What for?
03:51Oh, you don't have to be polite.
03:52She told us how rude she was to you the other day,
03:54and I'm really sorry for that.
03:56Romeo, I work with teenagers every day.
03:58Honestly, it's like water off a principal's back.
04:02But thank you for the apology.
04:05Why don't you guys go and have some fun?
04:06I'll see you later.
04:07All right.
04:08See ya.
04:09See ya.
04:11Jeff called?
04:13When?
04:13Last night, love.
04:15While you were out having dinner with Charlie,
04:17he's arranged to do some training course
04:19with a missionary organisation before he heads to Asia.
04:22Hmm.
04:22Sounds great.
04:24Yeah.
04:24Yeah.
04:25He wants to, um, to catch up with Annie
04:27before he heads over.
04:30Did he ask to speak to me at all?
04:32He asked how you were.
04:34So that's a no.
04:36Oh, love.
04:37Come on.
04:38He's got so much on his plate at the moment.
04:41Now, what about you?
04:43This is the last week of your holidays.
04:45What have you got planned for today?
04:47I'm going to buy myself a new book.
04:49I'm going to sit on the beach in the sun
04:50and read the whole thing cover to cover.
04:51Sounds like a great distraction, doll.
04:54Yeah, it will be.
04:54As long as I don't pick a romance.
04:58Hey, have you seen the file on the Donna file?
05:08So, are we not talking now?
05:10Sorry, no, I've just, um, been thinking.
05:12That's all.
05:13About everything.
05:16I'm sorry if I hurt you.
05:18I never meant to.
05:19You didn't hurt me.
05:20I was just disappointed.
05:23Okay, and a little hurt, but I'll get over it.
05:26I hope so.
05:28Just like you'll get over that moving-in phobia.
05:31It's okay, I understand.
05:33You know, I'll just give you a bit of time
05:35to get used to the idea
05:36and maybe in a few months we can talk about it again.
05:39You know, phobias can't be rationalised away.
05:42No, but they can be cured gradually.
05:44Bit by bit.
05:49Angelo, this is who I am.
05:51I don't want you living in false hope.
05:53This might not ever go away.
05:56And I can't see myself changing my mind
05:58in just a few hours.
05:59Right, that's okay.
06:02Can we talk about this?
06:03Can we do this at lunch?
06:06Yeah, sure.
06:18I keep moving the cash around
06:19and then putting it back to where it was.
06:21I'm freaking out that mum's going to go snooping and find it.
06:24I didn't think she was like that.
06:27She's not normally, but since Hugo died,
06:29she's gone into this super protective zone,
06:31so I wouldn't put it past her.
06:34You just need to hide it better.
06:36No, you don't get my mum.
06:37If it's hidden, she's more likely to find it.
06:39If I put it somewhere obvious,
06:41she won't give it a second look.
06:43Right.
06:44Well, one thing's for sure,
06:45you need to keep it away from my sister.
06:47Don't even talk about it around her.
06:53You're going on.
06:54I'll see you in a minute.
07:02Good book?
07:05Yeah.
07:06First sentence is brilliant.
07:08You should know I've read it about 17 times by now.
07:10I had the same problem with my algebra textbook.
07:15Every time I try and read a paragraph,
07:17my mind just starts wandering off
07:18into all the things it knows it shouldn't be thinking about.
07:21Like Geoff leaving.
07:25I should leave you then, so you can concentrate.
07:28I just wanted to say hi.
07:30No, you should sit down.
07:31Talk to me.
07:32Really?
07:33Really.
07:34Really.
07:42So, good sentence, huh?
07:47So, you're saying you can't see yourself
07:48in a long-term, committed relationship,
07:50marriage, either, with anyone, including me, ever?
07:53I never said I wouldn't be in a committed relationship.
07:56You can have that without living together.
07:57Plenty of people do.
07:58But you're saying you never actually want to be together?
08:00No, I'd never say never.
08:02I'm saying right now, at this point in my life,
08:05I can't see myself wanting to take that step.
08:08Okay, so our future is what?
08:11I didn't realise you needed to have everything so planned out.
08:14Well, I don't, but it would be nice to think
08:16that somewhere down the track
08:17we're going to be more committed to each other,
08:19rather than just staying in each other's houses
08:20and having breakfast together in the mornings.
08:22Yeah, I'd like that too.
08:23That's not the impression I'm getting, Charlie.
08:25I get the feeling you don't see an us in the future at all.
08:29Call to all units.
08:30Report of an MVA on Yabby Creek Road.
08:32Respond with your position. Over.
08:34This is Unit 3.
08:35We're at the surf club.
08:36Go ahead.
08:48Hey.
08:51Have you captured anything decent?
08:52Nah, it's rubbish.
08:54Dave didn't even bother going in.
08:56I doubt that has anything to do with the waves.
08:58Who's the chick?
09:00It's his ex.
09:01Well, she doesn't look very ex-y to me.
09:02They seem pretty cosy.
09:04Stop it.
09:05We're not doing anything.
09:06You've got that look in your eye.
09:09You can't be jealous of her.
09:10You and Zabie have done nothing but fights since the moment you met.
09:13Oh, what can I say?
09:15The kid's growing on me.
09:16Mink.
09:17Romeo.
09:19Oh, don't give me that.
09:20It's fun to be had.
09:21Yeah, but what's fun to you isn't fun to anyone else.
09:25That girl, her boyfriend just dumped her and left town.
09:28Oh.
09:29So if they look cosy, it's probably because Zabie's being supportive about that.
09:32And he's already making moves.
09:33How sweet.
09:34He's being a good friend.
09:36And they really don't need you.
09:38Providing some friendly competition.
09:40Why do you only ever want what you can't have?
09:43Gee, I don't know.
09:44I'm a real mystery to myself.
09:51I'm sad, yeah.
09:53But I'm not devastated.
09:56I think if he were leaving me for, like, another girl or something, that would be different.
10:00But how can I compete with the church?
10:03With deeds.
10:05I have to be pretty selfish.
10:07So you're okay?
10:09Okay-ish.
10:12In a way, it sort of helps that he left town.
10:14If we were still living in that same house together, that would really suck.
10:18I'm not feeling bitter or angry either.
10:20Like I normally do when I'm breaking up with someone.
10:23Better than when we broke up.
10:28I'm sorry for the way things ended.
10:31And how I treated you.
10:33Yeah, I'm sorry too.
10:37So, if we're both sorry, does that cancel out that we don't have to be sorry anymore?
10:43Yeah, I think that's how it works.
10:45Then we're all good?
10:47We're all good.
10:49Hey, what are you guys shaking on?
10:52This is Mink, Romeo's sister.
10:55Mink, Ruby.
10:56Hi.
10:57Hi.
10:58Wow, Xavier was right.
11:00You do have beautiful eyes.
11:09There's a unit still at the site.
11:11Ambos are on their way back to base.
11:13Over.
11:14Copy that, unit three.
11:15Over.
11:16I hope the ambos got him to sign a release form.
11:19He looked like he needed medical attention to me.
11:23What are you doing?
11:26I need to know something.
11:29All this talk about not wanting to move in.
11:31Is this just your way of nicely breaking up with me to spare my feelings?
11:36No.
11:37Absolutely not.
11:39Oh, sweetie, if I wanted to break up with you, I wouldn't be going about it like this.
11:42I would just tell you.
11:43You sure?
11:44You're not getting sick of me?
11:45Of course I'm sure.
11:50That's...
11:51It's what?
11:52No, I don't want to keep fighting with you.
11:54We're not fighting.
11:56We're resolving this.
11:57Okay, what were you going to say?
12:00Babe, I care about you deeply, even if you don't believe that right now.
12:04And I don't want to hurt you, but I'm trying to be honest about what I want here, and you're
12:08punishing me for it.
12:10So I'm not supposed to feel anything about this?
12:12No, you can feel whatever you want.
12:15But, well, if not moving in together is a deal-breaker, then...
12:21I don't know.
12:22Maybe you're the one who needs to be considering whether you want to be with me anymore.
12:39I've been waiting for Xavier to ask me to come surfing with him, but he keeps asking Romeo and leaving
12:44me out.
12:45Now I see you, I get why he's been holding back.
12:49I haven't been holding back.
12:50It's cool.
12:51I'm not worried.
12:52It's just now I understand why you're not looking up with me.
12:55Have you been drinking?
12:56Are you drunk?
12:58I thought Xavier was gay at first, the way he's so scared of girls.
13:02But you obviously got something out of him.
13:05Yeah, so I guess where you come from, this whole tough chick act thing really impresses people.
13:09Or not.
13:10Just like here.
13:11You'd be surprised how tough I can be.
13:14Yeah, I would.
13:18Hi, Ruby.
13:20Let's go.
13:21I haven't even been in yet.
13:23It's a lake.
13:24I'll buy you juice at the club instead.
13:25Come on.
13:27Catch you later, Zay.
13:49Zay, he's my mate.
13:50And I already told you Ruby's doing a tough.
13:52How do you know I wasn't being sweet as?
13:53Well, I saw the looks on their faces, and it is you.
13:56You can't blame me if they can't take a joke.
13:58Two OJs, thanks.
13:59Except it's not a joke when you're like this hand grenade that goes off in everyone's life
14:02all the time.
14:03Hey, meet my sister.
14:04Boom.
14:04All of a sudden, everyone around you is bleeding to death.
14:07Yeah, well, maybe I do it because I'm sick of acting like things are so important when
14:09they're not.
14:10Everyone acts so nice and polite and blah, blah.
14:13Sometimes I just want to say what I'm really thinking.
14:15You know what?
14:16A lot of people are actually nice and polite.
14:18That's not an act.
14:19I think these are just about you trying to hurt people before they get a chance to hurt
14:22you.
14:22Yeah?
14:23Well, I wonder why.
14:32I'm going to do this paperwork tomorrow.
14:34I'm going to call it a day.
14:36Angelou, wait.
14:40I wasn't saying that I wanted to break up with you.
14:43I was saying you might want to break up with me.
14:45Yeah, I heard you.
14:46And now I need time to think.
14:47Well, wouldn't talking about it help?
14:49Not right now, no.
14:51Angelou, I'm happy with you.
14:53We're happy.
14:55Doesn't that count for something?
14:56I'm going to go.
14:57I'll talk to you later.
14:59Oh.
15:04I know she's your sister, dude, but she's got to have something missing in her brain
15:08to act like that.
15:09I couldn't agree more, even though the piece you're talking about is the bit to do with
15:13being able to live in society.
15:15I finally had this breakthrough with Ruby, and it felt really good.
15:19And then Mink showed her.
15:20I didn't even know what she was going on about.
15:23I mean, does she secretly like me?
15:25Is this some kind of weird mating ritual?
15:28That I know of.
15:30Then why would she tell Ruby about all that stuff?
15:33I don't get it.
15:34If I did, my life would be so much easier.
15:38Has she always been like this?
15:40I mean, even before?
15:42She's always been trouble.
15:44She seemed to get off on causing as much of it as humanly possible.
15:47She's only ever happy when she's confronting something or someone.
15:50She loves it.
15:51Well, I guess she's happy a lot of the time, then.
15:53Yeah, except she's not really.
15:55She didn't always used to be like this.
15:57She used to be fun trouble, you know?
15:58These days, she's angry so much.
16:01One day, things will get out of control, and who knows what will happen.
16:06Hey, Mum.
16:07Hi, guys.
16:08Oh.
16:08You sticking around for dinner, Romeo?
16:10Ah, thanks, but I'd better get home.
16:12Make sure Mink hasn't set anyone on fire.
16:14See ya.
16:15See ya.
16:27Can I get you another one, love?
16:29Ah, no, it's OK.
16:29I don't think I can see you pretending to read for much longer.
16:32I thought I was bad this morning, and I'm twice as bad this afternoon.
16:34Ah, well, it happens to the best of us.
16:36It takes me half an hour to read the sports pages these days.
16:42Ah, hey.
16:43Hey.
16:43I missed you at dinner the other night.
16:45Oh, you must have been the only one.
16:48Did Charlie tell you about our little issue?
16:50Yeah.
16:51For what it's worth, I told her she's crazy.
16:54Has she ever moved in with anyone she's been seeing before?
16:57No, she hasn't.
16:59So it's not just me?
17:00No, definitely not.
17:01And as far as I can tell, she's never got to the moving in stage with anyone before.
17:05Her relationships last six months, max.
17:07And I've dated guys longer than that, so...
17:10Well, she said she's been out with a lot of losers, but I didn't realise they were such short stints.
17:14Well, neither did I, because it always seemed like they were the ones cheating on her or dumping her.
17:18It seemed like they couldn't commit, but if you think about it, she keeps going for the same type of
17:22guys.
17:22Roman wasn't a bad bloke.
17:24No, he wasn't, but he was still in love with Martha, and I'm sure Charlie picked up on that.
17:30Actually, there was one ex that Charlie lived with, Joey.
17:33Look how fast you went to screw that one up.
17:36I'm sorry.
17:37Don't let me mess you up.
17:38I'm just a bit cynical about relationships today.
17:41Oh, no, I've just been adding it up.
17:45Charlie and I have been seeing each other six months next week.
17:48So it doesn't look too good.
18:17It's really good to see you and Xavier getting on so well.
18:20Yeah, until Mink turned up.
18:23I can't understand how Romeo can be such a nice guy and his sister can be so... not.
18:28Well, love, she must have something going for her.
18:30I hear she's a good surfer.
18:32Yeah, well, maybe she should stay in the water then.
18:34Oh, hello, speaking of the devil.
18:36Come on in, doll.
18:37Hey.
18:38Listen, do you want to stay for dinner?
18:39We're having a roast.
18:40No, thanks.
18:42Hey.
18:43Hey.
18:43Um, I just wanted to say sorry for the dumb stuff Mink said today.
18:48I don't know why she thought it was funny.
18:50It's okay.
18:50Are you sure?
18:52Because you seemed a little upset.
18:54I'm not that upset by her.
18:56I don't really take her that seriously.
18:57But something she said kind of bothered me.
19:01Did you tell her I had beautiful eyes?
19:04Uh, no.
19:05I didn't.
19:06I've never spoken to her about you.
19:08Okay, so she was just staring.
19:10But that doesn't mean you don't.
19:12That you don't have beautiful eyes because you do, you know?
19:19Okay, thanks.
19:22Well, that's all I wanted to say.
19:24I enjoyed talking to you today.
19:26Sorry that we got interrupted.
19:28Yeah, me too.
19:29But it's cool, we're all good.
19:31Okay, bye.
19:32Okay, bye.
19:36See you, Irene.
19:37See you, Lum.
19:46Believe me, mate, I know about feisty sisters.
19:48I've got a couple myself.
19:50It's not easy sometimes.
19:52It's not me I'm worried about.
19:53It's her.
19:54I just, I wish I could help her somehow.
19:57Well, people have got to ask for help, haven't they?
19:59I mean, you can't just force it on them.
20:02Otherwise, they're like brick walls with feet.
20:06Force doesn't work on Mink anyway.
20:08In fact, as far as I know, nothing does.
20:11The worst part is, she's totally unpredictable.
20:14You never know what she's going to do next.
20:15I'm out.
20:17I'm out.
20:20I'm out.
21:22You're a fake.
21:23Oh.
21:24Don't ever call me a fake.
