No exam hall. No big moment.

In the first episode of Always the Long Version, I go back to that day. Finishing at Oxford Brookes, not having a clue what was next, the rollercoaster of the last three years, and why change is bloody terrifying, but I've never grown without it.

Then what came after: results day, leaving Oxford, moving back home, and working it all out, out loud.

With love always, Hugo.
