Ella was thrilled to have Olivia back home. She thought that Olivia seemed very quiet, but Olivia had just said that she was tired, that work had been really busy, which was why she needed a break. She went to bed early on the day she got home, and slept heavily well into the next morning. She woke up feeling tired and aching, and Ella told her to stay in bed. She dosed Olivia up with echinacea and vitamin C, and gave her lots of water to drink. 'Darling, you're exhausted. A few days rest in bed is just what you need.'

'Thanks, Mum,' and Olivia drifted off to sleep again.

A couple of days later, Becky went round to see her, taking her some flowers and chocolates for when she felt better. They chatted, and Becky told Olivia all about what was going on at the gallery, and what she, Dan and Liam had been up to. Olivia told Becky that she was just on holiday. She wasn't going to go into everything that was going on at the moment. She needed to decide for herself what she wanted to do, not what other people thought would be best for her.

At work, Jasmine was missing Olivia so much. Laura noticed how quiet she was. One morning Laura commented on how it wasn't the same without Olivia, and she noticed Jasmine disappear into her office quickly, closing the door. Jasmine hadn't said anything to the others about Olivia resigning yet. If she did, she knew that she would have to tell them what had been happening, and she really couldn't face that at the moment.

Now that Olivia was starting to feel better, she decided to ring Emma. Emma was thrilled to hear from her, and Olivia explained that she would have called sooner, but that she hadn't been very well. Emma tentatively asked whether Olivia had heard from Jasmine. Olivia sighed, 'She's left me messages, but I just can't think about her at the moment. To be honest, I've been considering moving back here, while I decide what to do. I think a complete change would be good for me.'

Emma said, 'Well, it's early days, wait until you're properly better before you decide anything.'

Once she had finished speaking with Olivia, Emma rang Jasmine to let her know that Olivia was okay. Jasmine asked whether she was coming back to London soon, and Emma said that she didn't know yet.

A few days later, Olivia rang Emma to let her know that she was coming back to London, and Emma suggested that they meet at the Mexican restaurant when she finished work on Friday. Emma arrived to see Olivia waiting for her, and they hugged each other. 'It's good to have you back. Do you feel better now?'

Olivia nodded, 'Yes. I really needed to get away. I still haven't decided whether to stay in London or move back to Cornwall.'

Emma looked concerned, 'You can't go back, you have your life here now. Don't make any decisions just yet.
