As she left she asked me to tell Andy she had gone back to the hotel and could she get a cab when she was ready, there were tears rolling down her cheeks as she left the house.

———Bette——-

As Tina came in we were all sitting around laughing, Even Andy had let go and was out of her suit and in an old tracksuit I had leant her.

She looked softer, dressed this way with her hair pulled back.

Tina hesitated in the doorway before telling Andy that her wife had taken the car and left and that she had seemed upset.

“Oh,”

She hung her head as she uttered this one word and when she looked up she was grimacing as if in terrible pain.

The others felt the atmosphere change and left to go and bed down for the night leaving Tina Andy and myself.

“Did she say anything else before she left?” She was questioning Tina

Tee explained as best she could and this seemed to cause even more distress.

She seemed defeated.

At that moment Angie came back into the room with a tray of hot chocolate and it seemed to lighten Andy’s mood.

“I have an idea.” She stated out of the blue “If it would be ok with her I think I know how Angie can pay off the damage to the car.”

I didn’t see where this was going so I just waited for her to continue.

“Angie while you are on summer vacation for the next few weeks could you have lunch with Rachel each day.

I was shocked but what she said next made all three of us agree to the way Angie would pay her debt.

She simply sighed and as she went to leave said,

“I think my wife needs to learn to let someone in and I don’t see how anyone can not open their heart to someone as full of life and love as Angie.”

 She looked back and the last thing I heard her say was..

“She used to be a lot like you, maybe You can help her find herself again.”

TBC?????? As ever up to you
