"I know where you're at Tommy" Jill's hushed voice interrupted my thoughts and she took my hands in hers,"We've all been through it darling, all three...of us, but not any more, we're out of it now and on the way up, don't dwell on the past for her sake as well as your own, just remember that things will never, ever go back to being what they were before, we're winners Tommy, Polly, Tommy and Jill, the three musketeers."
