The story so far
Everything you need before watchingInside the London mail museum, Oliver goes quiet. Robin Walker's letter has pulled something up: as a boy he wanted to deliver mail; as a man he had to return to strangers what was lost, because he could not restore what he himself had lost. His mother left. His wife left. He is sure Shane will leave too once she sees who he really is. Shane says they left because they had no clue who they were. She knows him, and she will never leave.
