There’s an email here from Melanie. She wants to do another year at university.
How much will that cost?
A lot. And we can’t afford it. Business isn’t very good.
Why’s that?
The factory has closed and Peter’s old offices are still empty, so we’ve lost a lot of customers.
A big company wants to open an Internet café in those offices.
I know, and that will be the end for us.
what does Dad think?
He wants to sell The Coffee Shop, but who’ll buy it when it’s losing money?
Anna’s looking for a place for her shop. Maybe she’ll buy it.
will the bank give us a loan?
No, they won’t, but we’ve had an offer from Anna Harlow. Look.
will, it isn’t a bad price, but where will we live, Ryan? The café’s our home, too
We’ll open a bar on the Costa del Sol in Spain! I’ve always wanted to do that.
but all our friends are here, Ryan.
What else can we do? We’re broke!
