Yes, it did as a matter of fact.
What happened?
I got stuck between a gap in the cave that we had to go through, and I couldn’t move, I couldn’t breathe, I couldn’t see anything, and then…
Then what?
You’re going to think I’m really strange.
Try me.
I heard your voice.
Mine?
Yes, I heard it like you were literally there right next to me.
What was I saying?
You were telling me to be quiet.
What else?
You were telling me to count to ten and to keep my eyes closed and not to look.
Look at what?
I don’t bloody know! You tell me – you seem to know what happened…
You don’t remember?
Remember what?
What happened?
What are you talking about, Niall? Do you mean in the cave?
No, not in the cave, in the shop, when we were younger.
What do you mean in the shop? What happened in the shop?
I’m not sure now’s the best time to tell you, Pearl.
Tell me what, Niall? You’re being really annoying. Just tell me!
When are you flying home?
The day after tomorrow.
I’ll tell you when you get back to Drangan.
You can’t do that!
Have a safe trip back.
Niall!
Goodnight, Pearl.
