He did ask if there was any way at all that Steph and I could get through this; I grimaced in sympathy at his forlorn expression as I told him no way,...not even if she put the baby up for adoption. She’d cheated on me for too long and too deliberately for it to be forgivable. I just would never trust her out of my sight, and that was no way to live life. He told me that he had to ask, but that he would have done the same in my place. He said that he’d try to get Hildy off of my back, we shook. Nick did not take to Ellie's landlord either. The rent was paid up to the end of the following week.The following Monday Sally accompanied Nick into work. They wanted to walk round the complete office together and thank everyone for their generous wedding present. Before that, Nick had to welcome the two new PMs and brief them. He and Sally had worked out their starting teams three weeks earlier and Melanie had done wonders recruiting them. After the walk-round there was Managers'. Sally. ‘Honey, you don’t have to let me look at you like an old pervert for me to tell you how pretty you are.’ ‘But you have never looked at me that way before you saw my panties… I want you to look at me and see what you think.’ ‘Kaylee! You don’t have to do this. I think you are a very pretty girl.’ ‘I know I don’t HAVE to do this. You would never MAKE me do something like this. I trust you Uncle Benny. I want to do this.’ I knew right then I wanted him to look at me, I wanted him to like what he. "Shut up!"i shush Missy when i see people start to look.she talks quieter now."he actually kissed you?" yeah, i mean, he got all mad at himself and whatever...but i really liked it."i had really never felt so alive when he kissed me. i felt happy."well good for you man!"she pats my back when the final bell rings.i happily make my way to my car when, despite yesterday, stood Luke looking down on the ground, leaning on my car.Once he heard my footsteps he looked up.he didn't smile but i could.
