From Scratch (Chapter 1)
Story written on January 18, 2012 by Casual Watcher.
Descending the staircase, Helena told her younger sister that she was just going to grab a bottle of wine so that they wouldn’t have to get up for it later on in the night and wondered off into the kitchen. “Hey,” Robbie smiled, leaning against a counter, as Helena entered the large room. Casey offered the brunette a small smile and lifted her drink to her lips, taking a large mouthful.
“Hey,” Helena smiled back, “I just came in for the other wine bottle.”
Pointing to a pan, Robbie stated, “I’m doing some mulled wine…Casey was just helping out.”
“Mm,” Helena grinned, moving over to the pan to stir the heated liquor, “Well, I’ll leave you to it, Lainey’s going to show me what Jonah bought her for Christmas,” she stated, planting a quick kiss on her husband’s lips before heading into the living room.

The end of the week arrived with a pleasantly light morning, and once the mist had cleared from the hills the manor house’s surroundings looked just as bright as it was inside the large stone walls.
“Miranda, are your boots on?” Elaine called from the kitchen, gathering her handbag and scarf in her arms. A call from by the front door confirmed that Miranda was ready to leave, and they were just waiting for Leah and Casey.
“Mum, I don’t want to go shopping,” Casey stated, leaning against a kitchen counter.
“You can’t stay here on your own,” Elaine answered, “why don’t you just come with us? You might see something you like.”
Frowning, Casey muttered a quick ‘doubt it’, though was seemingly saved by her uncle. “I was goings to stay home, anyway,” Robbie told Elaine, “I have work I should be doing, so if Casey wants to stay, I’m fine with babysitting,” He said, smirking at Casey’s face at the thought of being ‘babysat’.
“Are you sure?” Helena asked from where she was crouched by Leah, zipping up her blindingly yellow raincoat and tugging a hand knitted pink hat on over her ears.
Robbie smiled at his little girl as she poked her tongue out at him and answered, “Yeah, I’m sure she’ll be no trouble,” winking humorously at the teenager.

Nicely written. Welcome to the site. :)
Great start.PPS
Can’t wait for more. I never did watch ‘The Children’ although I was intrigued to the storyline. Wondering how Elaine has dealt with her daughter after this debacle.
