After dropping Culverhouse back at the station that afternoon, Wendy drove to the hospital.

Her mind was overflowing with mixed feelings as she walked towards Michael's ward. Was it wise to bring a recovering addict back into her home? What's to say he was even recovering? Was it really worth jeopardising her career? The angel on her opposite shoulder kicked the devil into touch, declaring that Michael was family and families stuck together – except when they go and die on you.

Walking onto the ward, Wendy noticed that Michael looked much better than he had the last time she saw him. He looked fit, happy and healthy.

“Ah, my chauffeur! Betty, this is my sister, Wendy.”

Wendy shook the nurse's hand.

“You look much better, Michael.”

“I feel better, Wend. It's amazing how being forced into a situation forces you to come to terms with the way you saw things before. Sometimes it's only when someone forces you into that situation that you actually see the world for what it really is.”

“Painkillers talking?”

Michael smiled. “Something like that.”

“Come on, then. Let's get you out of here. I've got a lamb joint in for tonight.”

“Lamb! You remembered!”

“How could I forget? You used to run around the house like a delirious lunatic every time mum cooked lamb.”

“That was probably a reaction to the foul smell it makes when it's cooking. You don't mind if I keep well away from the kitchen before dinner, do you?”

“As long as you eat it all, I don't care, because you're not getting any pudding unless you do.”

Michael gestured a sarcastic salute. “Yes, ma'am!”
