1. Bernice is unaware of
what her best friend is
going through over the
road. She is full of
thoughts for the future.
Gracie has agreed to
meet her to talk.

2. They meet at the beach and have a
long talk walking alone the shore.
The bottom line is Bernice had done
enough to convince Gracie to give
her a second chance.

3. Gracie had just wanted to be clear that she was
looking for a serious relationship. Bernice now
knew that was what she wanted too. It was time
to introduce Gracie to her friends.

4. Teresa wasn’t answering her phone, so
Bernice organised dinner with
Ambrose and Frank instead.
Bernice was struck by how Gracie had
brought wine with her and was trying
really hard. Frank on the other hand
was being a bit weird.

5. While Bernice cleared the dishes after dinner Ambrose struggled to keep conversation
going. She spent ages explaining her job as a musician and how Frank was involved…
but he didn’t sat more than a few words. Ambrose couldn’t understand why her
boyfriend was being so quiet. Had she done something wrong?

6. Frank decided to leave early, much
to Bernice’s relief. While Ambrose
saw him out she quickly filled Gracie
in on Frank.
As far as Bernice was concerned, he
was a bit of a sleaze. She had been
too preoccupied with her own
problems to warn Ambrose off
when Frank had first made a move.
Now she wasn’t sure how to break it
to her innocent friend that Frank
was only looking for fun, and that
this couples dinner date had
probably been a step too far.

7. Gracie advised to stay quiet. If Bernice attacked Frank’s character Ambrose would have
to defend him, and that might ruin their friendship. Better to let him break Ambrose’s
heart , he was bound to anyway and that way she would learn an important life lesson
but still have her friends to support her.

8. Ariette had heard the
shouting from the Bailey
household last night on her
evening ride with Peps. This
was a chance to repay
Teresa's kindness following
the death of Harry.
She invited her over on some
pretext and then wouldn’t
take no for an answer when
Teresa said she didn’t want
to talk about it, and soon the
truth came tumbling out.
In a horrible way, Ariette was in luck. There were many parallels between Teresa giving
up Emma, and her giving up Annette. The women sat and talked about their
experiences for hours. It was good for both of them.
Ariette felt afterwards that she had finally bonded with Teresa. She had a friend at last.

9. Alfred was glad to see Warren, even though he had let himself in without
knocking – something Alfred normally found intolerably rude. It had been a while
and he hadn’t been out of the house for over a week, But Warren wasn’t there to
invite him out for a drink.

10. Warren needed some advice, so he’d come to the neighbour who knew his wife the
least. He explained everything that had happened in their house recently and asked
Alfred what he should do.
Alfred replied that although this Emma girl was no blood relation to him or his son, it
was his wife’s daughter. Megan’s half-sister. Whatever the circumstances Warren
should swallow his pride and try to make her welcome. For all their sakes.

11. Warren saw the truth in Alfred’s words. He heard
the loneliness in his voice, he was probably
jealous of him having a family at all.
He rushed home to apologise to Teresa.
Emma had to come and live with them. He would
find a job. The two of them would never have
secrets again… somehow they had averted
disaster and had come out a stronger couple
than ever.
