Hadyn watched Lucia as she had fallen asleep during the movie. He covered her in the blanket on the sofa and kissed her cheek. She stirred and looked at him with a smile. "Were you about to sneak off.."

"Yo uncle would not be very impressed with me if I stayed here for the whole night... are you gonna be okay if I go?." He asked her.

She nodded and touched his hand

She nodded and touched his hand. "Thank you for today... you really have helped to take my mind off of everything..."

"That's what I was here for.." he paused. "I'll have you picked up and brought to my place for dinner tomorrow.."

She watched as he picked up his car keys and coat and headed to the door. She followed him and saw him out before locking her apartment doors and heading to bed. she caught herself looking in the mirror, and she had a smile on her face.

"the girl is going through a whole heap of shit and you're just adding to it. Do you not even understand that her mother passed away, and you're on her doorstep telling her that she's no longer required at yo service?..."

"I don't know why you stand up for her so much

"I don't know why you stand up for her so much... It's not like you really know her didn't she only just meet you at the lake house?." She sniped. "Or were you messing with her before.. and I only just found out like a fool."
