There is no part of this that he has thought through properly. It feels like it's all come out of him in a rush, like his heart was too full to hold it all. Night falls and he doesn't go home, doesn't go to the house down on the beach; he feels it better to leave Laurence to think things over. He hopes that he hasn't burned everything they have to ash.

It shouldn't be surprising that he ends up where he does. He doesn't want to wake Maddie, so he slips into the hut without knocking - it isn't the first time. At Julie's bedroom door, he pauses, tapping on the frame before he slips inside.
