Oh my darling, I were so - I've been trying to work out where I'd even start looking if you'd disappeared. I'd 'ave to break time to find you again and I don't even care, I'll do it like a shot.

...so good to see your lovely eyes again, and that dimple of yours. It doesn't 'appen when you sleep. Helena and me came and told you stories and I kept bringing you things like it'd wake you up. Like sacrifices to make the sun rise. Oh Mira.
