“She needs her arm,” The little girl whined, causing Helena to raise her eyebrows slightly.
“You need to be more careful, then, and look after your toys. I’ll see if it can be fixed after dinner, okay?” Helena offered, and Leah finally nodded with a sigh, finally noticing the other person in the room. She watched Dylan curiously, then glanced at her mother for an explanation. “Er… Leah, this is Dylan,” She told her. Dylan offered the little girl a bright smile and a greeting, though Leah seemingly shied out of returning the gesture, causing Helena to offer Dylan a slightly apologetic smile.
Shaking her head slightly, Dylan stated, “It was really nice to meet you,” her smile was still bright and she seemed undeterred by Leah’s coldness, “but I really should get going.” She appeared almost regretful of this fact and Helena tried to reassure her that is was okay with a little smile and nod of her head.
“It was nice to meet you, too,” Helena told her, and Dylan grinned as she held up the wrapped package, thanking her again and telling her she would show herself out. Left to her thoughts, now, Helena leant back against the counter and smiled slightly to herself. There was something about the Californian that she just couldn’t quite put her finger on, but she felt an instant liking to the woman. After all, if she was good friends with her brother, and had been for a number of years, Helena knew she must be a half decent person at the very least.
As she heard the front door close, Helena let out a sigh and pushed herself away from the kitchen counter, looking down to where Leah was standing. “Right,” She began, “how do you feel about exploring?”
Grinning, Leah nodded and said, “Can we find a park, with a lake and a swing and slide?”
Smirking, Helena beamed back, “We can try. How about we tell Nicky and blow dry your hair?” The tiny brunette happily agreed to the proposal and was followed up the stairs by her mother, instantly forgetting her dismembered doll.

The evening was slowly falling into night, the sky cooling, growing dim, and the day’s adventures were over for now. With the children playing quietly upstairs, Helena allowed herself to relax in one of the sofas, smiling at her brother as he also took a seat. He had just arrived home from work and Helena could see he looked tired; she had offered to make dinner, despite his insistence that she was a guest and should therefore not be lifting a finger around the house.
“How was work?” Helena asked, wondering what she could make for their dinner and accepting that they would be eating late.
Andrew shrugged, “It was okay… how was your day?”
“Good, yeah… we went to the beach,” Helena told him, vaguely motioning in the general direction of the coast, “and then we kind of just walked around for a while, familiarised ourselves with the area.”
Andrew’s smile was interrupted by thought, “Did Dylan stop by?”
Nodding Helena replied, “Yes, and I gave her the package… She seems nice.”
“She is,” Andrew smirked back, and then, “so, you like her?”
Helena shrugged a little. “Well…I barely know her, but…yes, I mean, she seemed okay.”
“Good, because… I kind of invited her over for lunch tomorrow,” Andrew delivered, waiting for his sister to respond, though Helena merely nodded and threw him a ‘what do you want me to reply?’ look. “We arranged to have lunch, here, a couple weeks ago. We normally try and meet up every now and then as she’s normally off filming, so when she’s here it’s just nice to catch up… But she’s happy to rearrange it…?”
“No, that’s fine,” Helena stated quickly, “don’t rearrange your plans. Do you want me to take the kids out somewhere, let you have a proper catch u-”
“No, don’t be ridiculous, you stay,” Andrew interrupted.
“Are you sure?”
Nodding away his little sister’s question, Andrew told her, “Yeah, she won’t have a problem with that.”
Smiling, Helena shrugged again, though she was intrigued in her brother’s friend and wouldn’t at all mind spending the afternoon in her company. “Okay, well I’m going to see what you have in and get dinner on,” She declared, standing up from the sofa and making her way into the kitchen while Andrew shouted back for her to ‘help herself’
