Skye knew that Thea’s easy stride hid the fact that she had a heavy heart. She liked Skye and really wanted her to stick around. She’d told Skye she’d assumed she would be a nightmare at first as she was secretive and grumpy, but said she was also sweet, funny, kind and fiercely loyal, which had made Skye blush. No one had said anything nice about her for so long.

Thea flicked the switch on the kettle, visibly exhausted from the day’s emotional turmoil, and opened the soft grey cupboard doors to find some mugs. Skye cringed as Thea must have noticed that Skye was a bit obsessive, as the colourful mugs were all lined up with handles pointing outwards to pick up easily.

‘Ever efficient,’ Thea smiled. ‘Tea, the British answer to many distressing situations; it can soothe a broken heart and wash away troubled thought.’ Keeping the tea strong by adding just a dash of milk, she put in a spoonful of sugar, from the metal tin on the kitchen top, for good measure. ‘We could do with a sugar rush,’ she sighed, rolling her shoulders as if she was trying to ease some pain. Then she brightened up.

‘I’ve just remembered the huge slab of chocolate cake I shoved onto the pram,’ she held two mugs in one hand and grabbed that as she passed too. Skye sagged. She needed her blood sugar levels to return to normal after the shock of finding out about Marcus and his treachery, plus the realisation that she had put herself and Leo through hell by running for so many years, without reason. At least she might start to feel safe now. Thea could help her with that, she resolved.

‘I have the uneasy suspicion that you won’t let anyone get close to you, you’ll use your old life as an excuse to move on soon, just in case you began to care about anyone again.’ Thea gritted her teeth as she was up for a fight. She looked into Skye’s tired eyes. ‘I’m determined to change the outcome this time.’
