When Des and Jane sit down together, they’re both nervous but relieved that they can talk through everything that’s happened. Although Jane was upset at their breakup she doesn’t necessarily want to get back together but is worried about ruining their decades-long friendship. Thankfully, Des reveals that he feels the same way: although he does love Jane, he’s not in love with her, so to be in a relationship again would only result in another break up down the line.
