1. Ambrose was happier now, but
Bernice and Gracie were doing
nothing but fight. It should have been
a honeymoon period, but they were
squabbling over everything.

2. Bernice confided in her best friend, telling her everything Gracie had said and accused
her of. Teresa saw what the problem was straight away. Gracie had once dumped
Bernice for being too frivolous and sleeping around. Reading between the lines of
Gracie’s recent complaints told her that Gracie thought Bernice would be more mature
following their wedding. All Bernice needed to do was show she had grown up.

3. So Teresa gave her friend
a quick wardrobe
makeover. Some new
clothes that were a little
less tight, less revealing…
Bernice was the same age
as Teresa, who had teen
children and grey in her
hair. She didn’t need to
change who she was, just
learn to love herself as an
older person. Gracie
might not want her
squeezing herself into
outfits made for teens.
Gracie loved her, perhaps
she should start loving
herself.

4. Gracie apologised to Bernice for their
fights the moment she got home. She
admitted she was worried they had
married too quickly, that Bernice
might regret being forced to settle
down.
They had a long chat and reaffirmed
how they felt. Bernice assured her
wife she was happy with herself and
with their relationship.

5. Megan’s relationship was also going well.
Allain seemed to be really into her. Plus,
she received her first payment from
Edward for her help.
It was a pretty exciting moment, and she
knew exactly what she would spend it on.

6. The Bailey family’s garden was long gone, the fence sold on as firewood.
Warren and Teresa had abandoned their dream of being self-employed in
case the mysterious blight returned, as it had done elsewhere.
But Megan was determined.
She used the money from Edward to buy blight resistant seeds.

7. Megan Bailey, an interesting conundrum. Just starting out as a career criminal with a
high performing business brain she’d been honing since childhood… spending her first
pay cheque on plants for her parents to lift their spirits.

8. Malika Williams was certainly confused by her. Megan was smart and funny, did well in
school and came from a nice family. But she hung out with a boy who had quit school
completely and Malika had seen her sneaking home after curfew several times.

9. Malika didn’t tell her new police friends about Megan breaking curfew though. She
would give her the benefit of the doubt.
But if she ever discovered anything more serious… well what else was she training so
hard for? When she aged up she would be a teen police cadet. And then she would
join the police. She hoped Megan wouldn’t give her a reason to ever arrest her.

10. She liked the other children she
had met as a junior cadet. They
were better friends than Megan
had ever been.

11. Megan was out when Annette called
round to talk to her. James answered the
door and out of the blue asked if she
wanted to hang out with him instead?
He had no idea where his sudden burst
of confidence had come from.

12. She did stay though. And they talked for
some time. It started a bit awkward,
reminiscing about when James would hang
out with her and Megan as a child, but never
speak. Then they talked about their lives at
boarding school, something they had
common. Then the time flew by.
