Joshua: Gran!
Isabella: Grandma!
Gwyneth: Joshua. Isabella.
Joshua: How're you!?
Gwyneth: I'm fine, and yourselves?
Isabella: I'm quite well.
Joshua: Nervous.
Gwyneth: Why are you nervous?
Joshua: I'M NOT GETTING MARRIED TODAY, I DON'T KNOW WHO TOLD YOU THAT! I mean, no reason.
Isabella: Josh... calm down.
Joshua: I am calm.
Isabella: Mhm...
Gwyneth: I hear you were marry one of Draco Malfoy's daughters, but that's it. I doubt Lycoris is old enough, so Jaslene I assume?
Joshua: Indeed. I love her very much!
Gwyneth: Well make sure you treat her properly and that'll continue.
Joshua: Oh I will, I've no intention of hurting her.
Isabella: Josh, does she know about my engagement?
JJJ: I didn't say anything...
Isabella: Should I tell her?
Joshua: That's up to you.
Isabella: She is wonderful, you would love her Grandma.
Gwyneth: That's what your grandfather told me about Andrew.
Isabella: Do you like my father?
Gwyneth: Not particularly.
JJJ laughs
III giggles
Joshua: A case for false advertising if there ever was one, I think.
Isabella: Well, Jaslene is different.
Gwyneth: Well at least four good things came out of that marriage.
Isabella: Aw.
Joshua: Gran... did you get my letter?
Gwyneth: Yes, I'll be there without a doubt. I wouldn't miss your wedding for the world. I can't stay for too long though, I might have to speak to your parents.
Joshua: Good! But mother and father don't know and I don't want them to be there. Why are you speaking to my parents?
Gwyneth: In which case I'll stay for the duration. Why aren't they going? I'm not speaking to your parents, that's the point.
Joshua: Ohh, you mean, you won't stay long to speak to them. I understand. I don't want them there.
Gwyneth: I think we'd be estranged if I wasn't so insistent on seeing my grandchildren. Why not?
Joshua: They helped ruin enough lives.
Gwyneth: What have they done now?
Joshua: I can't be sure but it's to do with Evie.
Gwyneth: What happened to Evelyn?
Isabella: Someone killed her boyfriend.
Joshua: She fell in love with someone that the adults didn't approve of. A shop boy. Next thing we know... he's been murdered on our doorstep. I think that's too much of a coincidence.
Gwyneth: Oh... and you think they had him killed?
Joshua: We think Maria and Clifford had something to do with it. That's why I'm not talking to them either.
III nods.
Gwyneth: I don't know, it sounds a bit extreme. They're not the most pleasant of people but that sounds a little much even for them. Well that's fine by me, I can't stand Clifford and I don't think much to Maria either.
Joshua: Well, it's not like they've been the model parents. I want this day to be about myself and Jaslene and not my parents and their controlling plans.
Gwyneth: Is she coping?
Joshua: Not very well. She found him. It's not been easy on any of us.
Gwyneth: That's even worse! The poor child.
Joshua: I think the plans went wrong and you know what they're like. They don't like it when things don't go their way.
Gwyneth: Tell me about it.
Joshua: We've managed to keep it quiet but we know something's wrong but they'll go to any length to get the information they want. I've felt it.
Gwyneth: What do you mean you've felt it?
Joshua: Never mind. I didn't mean anything.
Gwyneth: Joshua.
Joshua: I don't want to... there's nothing... it's nothing.
Gwyneth: It certainly isn't nothing! What happened?
Joshua: I don't want to say, Izzy's heard enough.
Isabella: Josh, I want to know!
JJJ laughs bitterly
Joshua: No you don't.
Isabella: Yes I do! Tell us!
Gwyneth: Isabella isn't a child anymore Joshua.
Isabella: Thank you.
JJJ: I wouldn't tell them what they wanted to hear. I keep so many secrets, for every Dalton. I wouldn't tell them anything.
Gwyneth: What do they expect? If all you give is lies, that's all you'll get back. What did they do?
Joshua: They tried everything they could to get what they wanted.
Isabella: What did they do?
Joshua: They used pain as motivation.
Gwyneth: You don't mean... they didn't!?
JJJ nods slowly, biting his lip.
III starts to tear up.
GGG hugs Isabella.
Joshua: I'm sorry Izzy. I didn't want you to know.
Gwyneth: Get your things packed.
Joshua: Packed?
Gwyneth: I'm not talking about a holiday suitcase either, I mean everything. You're not staying in that house, not with them. Unforgivables are unforgivable, regardless of the situation.
Isabella: We can come live with you!?
Gwyneth:You most certainly are.
Isabella: Thank you Grandma.
Joshua: We're... wait... what?
Gwyneth: You're coming to Wales to live with me.
Joshua: Really, Gran!?
Gwyneth: You think I'm going to leave you there to get tortured more?
III runs to Josh and hugs him
JJJ hugs Izzy
Joshua: Better me than you, kid, alright?
Isabella: It shouldn't have happened at all.
Gwyneth: It most certainly shouldn't.
Joshua: I never told them anything, I want you to know that. Not one single secret. I'll be glad to get out of there. It'll be good for Evie. She needs to get away from that house.
Gwyneth: That's where there might be problems.
Joshua: Why?
Gwyneth: I'm not Evelyn's grandmother. I can take you in with little trouble but the others might be a little more difficult.
Joshua: Oh. It would be kidnapping. But Evie's of age, she can decide, right? But then that would leave Harrison, Arthur and Kelsie.
Gwyneth: Yes, Evelyn's free to do as she wishes.. Clifford and Maria won't give their permission for her siblings so it would be kidnapping.
