It's 12:20am October 5th.
my head is still spinning from today's events.
I can't believe that I, Gary sparrow have a daughter. This changes everything.
I wish Ron was here he would know oowhat to do.
Surely I can't carry on anymore, maybe it's time to tell phoebe the truth.
Or is there a way around this!
7:30am.
I've left phoebe a note saying I've gone shopping.
But once again I find myself in ducketts passage. I'm contemplating stepping through just once to see if it's reopened. But maybe I should leave the future past where it is.
Why could I not be happy, just being a simple tv repair man.
As I head back to the Royal Oak it hits me.
My perfect excuse.
" good morning phoebe, I need to ask you something very important. "
" what's up Gary " she replies looking concerned.
" today is 2 months since the death of Marilyn Monroe, and the guys from America want to meet. To have a sort of send off for her.
would you mind if I went "
" Gary you need to do what you think is right, and besides you haven't been away for years. Perhaps a break would do you good."
3:30pm -
The Royal Oak is heaving.
" listen up everybody, I'm going away for a week, but before I go I would like to leave with a beautiful song I wrote."
"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn
The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn
Already I'm so lonesome I could die
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go. "
Then suddenly as I'm half way through I hear...
" you never wrote that "
I look round slowly and as my eyes meet theirs I feel excited but scared that my cover will be blown.
I stand up grab them by the arm and say
" you shouldn't be here, you need to go back."
