"Robert!" Jude said in shock starring at his friend on the door step, his shocked face changed when he noticed Roberts red eyes "Why are you here?"
"Just...Need somewhere to stay for a while, didn't know who else to go too" before Robert could continue Jude put his arm around his back and pulled him into his home before closing the door shut behind them both, he led him into the living room before they both sat down.
"So, what's happened? Explain. Must be pretty serious for you to fly over to England"
"Just you know...Casually caught my wife screwing someone else" Robert sniffed before wiping his eyes and looking at his friend.
"What? You two are the last couple I'd expect..."
"Yeah I know, heard it all before but obviously not, I can't go back. Sorry for dumping myself on you I can go to someone else..." Jude cut off Robert
"No no, you're staying here I'll set up the spare room for you, stay as long as you want."
"Thanks" Robert gave a small smile "You're really something"
"That's what friends are for" Jude smiled at him "Do you want some coffee?" He knew from working on Sherlock Holmes with Robert he never turned down coffee.
"Yeah sure" Jude walked off to the kitchen while Robert made himself comfortable on the sofa.
"Hey Jude does I look oka..." Robert jumped up and looked at the girl standing by the doorway; she had dirty blonde hair and couldn't have been much shorter than him. She had a red dress on that fitted to her slim curved body. "Oops...sorry"
"its fine and you look gorgeous" Robert smiled at her.
"Thanks" She grinned "Your Robert right?" he nodded in agreement and Jude came back through to the living room.
"Ah, I see you've met my sister Rachel" He grinned
"I have indeed" He smiled back at them both
"Okay I better go, I'll be back later, nice meeting you" She waved at Robert and smiled and Jude running off.
"You didn't mention your sister was living with you" Robert stated looking at Jude with an eyebrow raised.
"She hasn't been for long, got into some trouble and had to move out, needed somewhere to stay" he said handing Robert his coffee.
"What sort of trouble?"
"Drugs. She's stopped now though as far as I know at least" he sat next to Robert.
"Ah, been there, done that"
"You seem to have perked up a little" Jude stated raising his eyebrow.
"Yeah, I have" Robert bit his lip and sipped his coffee.
