Ten minutes later, Nikki re-joined me in the lounge.

‘Okay?’ I asked her, looking up.

‘Yeah, fine. Everything is just ten times harder and takes longer with this silly cast!’

‘I’m sure you’ll get used to it soon,’ I said sympathetically.

‘Yes, I’m sure you’re right. It’s my own silly fault anyway!’

‘Accidents happen,’ I reminded her.

‘Yeah,’ she smiled. ‘And it did allow me to meet you…so it’s all good.’

I smiled at her, feeling warm and fuzzy inside.

‘So, Sarah…what’s the plan for the holiday?’ she asked.

‘Well, I want to explore the area-especially the place where my Grandma grew up and used to talk about.’

‘Whereabouts it that?’

‘Over near the beach…she lived in a small fishing village which was by the sea. I’m desperate to go and see it and wander around exploring all the little places which made it home for her.’

‘How lovely!’

‘There’s also some nice places to visit in the area that I have looked at online.’

‘Oh really?’

I nodded. ‘Yeah…you’re welcome to join me on trips out if you feel able to,’ I welcomed.

She smiled at me. ‘I’d love to, Sarah…so long as I’m not intruding on you.’

‘Not at all,’ I replied. ‘In fact, I’m beginning to enjoy the company.’

‘Beginning to?’ she joked. ‘Oh dear…’

‘I didn’t mean it like that!’ I laughed. ‘I just planned to have a holiday alone and was trying to get into that mindset. Now, I’m finding the best thing after everything that’s happened is to have better and happier company. It’s been great to spend time with you.’

‘Aw, thanks Sarah…ditto. I’ve enjoyed it too. I think maybe fate was working in our favour yesterday.’

‘You believe in fate?’ I asked her.

‘I sure do. Do you?’

‘I…yes,’ I nodded.

‘How unlikely was it for us to meet yesterday? I mean, when you really think about it, it’s so fortuitous that you were there at the exact time I needed help! If you hadn’t been there, well who knows what would have happened?’

‘That doesn’t bear thinking about…’ I murmured.

‘No. But then we meet and we share a lot of similarities and have become instant friends-if I’m not jumping the gun by saying that?’

‘No, I know what you mean…we have.’

‘Yes, so I just think…well, maybe the powers that be wanted us to meet…’

‘So, I could help you?’ I asked.

She shrugged. ‘Or for other reasons.’

I looked at her quizzically. ‘Like what?’

‘Like…to help each other?’

‘Really?’

She nodded. ‘We’ve both been through a rough time lately.’

I thought about this. She was right. ‘Yeah…maybe that’s true…’

‘And we seem to enjoy each other’s company…’

‘We do,’ I nodded.

‘So…’

I looked up and met her eyes. I frowned at her expression. ‘So…’

She shrugged, ‘Well, nothing I guess…’

I held her eyes. She had meant to say more but seemed to reconsider speaking further. ‘It’s nice to have a friend,’ I said instead, stopping her from talking about things I didn’t feel ready for.

‘It sure is…’

‘I, uh…what do you want to do tonight?’ I asked.

‘What are the options?’ she smiled.

‘I don’t know,’ I mused. ‘We’ve watched films and eaten food…I don’t know…more of the same?’

‘I love relaxing with you in front of a film,’ she smiled.
