Once home I managed to fill a solid hour of my time by going through the property pages of the newspapers. My red Sharpie pen performed well under my enthusiastic circling and scribbling. Mickey text me to tell me he’d landed in Derry and that he was on his way home, which made me sad and happy at the same time. I kept myself occupied and idled away another hour going through online property listings and auction sites.

Many of the houses that were listed were out of our price range if we wanted to pay cash. The family business had around a hundred grand in its bank account. I didn’t want to deplete it completely which meant most of the listings were automatically a no-no. Others were fine if we took out a small buy to let mortgage which seemed like the most common sense option, but would rule out those selling at auction which required a quick sale.

Still there were a few properties coming up for auction which, if we were lucky, we might be able to get for thirty grand if bidding went in our favour. Smaller flats in pretty poor condition, but worth considering.

I decided that it was best not to rush into anything, that I'd investigate mortgages for the future, but check out the auctions and see what went on there and what end prices really looked like. If I saw an opportunity to pick up a cash bargain, then great. Mum was giving me free reign, but I was determined not to overspend or let her down. My heart raced at the prospect of handing over a big pile of cash for a house I’d never even been in. The feeling wasn’t good.

In the spirit of getting on with my life, until a vampire told me otherwise, I decided I'd have an early night. Tomorrow is another day, I told myself, onward and upward, Sophie.

With all doors and windows locked, and checked three times for good measure, I carried Charlie-Cat up to bed and sank into the comfort of the duvet. It retained an air of Mickey's musky odour and deodorant, which my nose drank in as if it were the smell of roses. Even if nightmares woke me screaming again, nothing was going to take away that first feeling of comfort.
