"Cait." Gerry said trying to sound cheery at seeing his youngest daughter at his door but at this moment tiredness was winning. "Come in." He finally said mindful of how cold it was outside in comparison to the warmth of his flat.
"Put the kettle on then dad!" Caitlin laughed as she parked herself on the sofa and took a couple of books out of her bag.
"Not that I don't love having you, but what are you doing here?"
"I have exams coming up and mum's too busy today to help me revise..."
"So you just assumed I was free? You never texted or rang to make sure I was free."
"You never do anything that's worthwhile though dad."
"I think you're forgetting that I can kick you out just as easily as I let you in!"
"Yeah but you love me too much to do that. I don't hear the kettle boiling yet." Caitlin responded cheekily.
"Fine, you'll have to be quiet though as Sandra's still asleep."
"I can do that, I just need you to sit and motivate me all day, reading stuff aloud is best for me but really you don't even have to be listening. That shouldn't be a problem for you, you rarely listen."
"I seem to remember telling you how easily I could pack you back off home."
"And I reminded you that you wouldn't do that to me. I'll go and set my stuff up."
"Fine, I'm going to go and wake Sandra up then."
"Morning sweetie." Sandra greeted Caitlin as she walked through and sat next to her on the sofa.
"Morning Sandra, I hope you don't mind me revising here today."
"Course we don't, anything we can do to help. So what are you revising today?"
"Ethics." Caitlin told Sandra as well as handing her two ethics revision guides.
"Ethics?" Sandra asked confused, she knew what ethics was but she'd never heard of it as a school subject.
"It's basically religious views on ethical issues." Caitlin explained.
"Sounds fun." Gerry mumbled sarcastically.
"Well some of us are more open minded than others."
"I'm a retired police officer, how much more open minded can you get?!" Gerry argued.
"Oh well, we'll start with topic 1, relationships. I'm just going to read aloud, you don't have to listen Sandra, I've already explained this to dad."
"I want to listen, it sounds interesting. Gerry if you want TV then you can go through to our bedroom, no distracting Caitlin, or you could do snacks and drinks or stay and listen."
"I want to know what qualifies a religious text to speak about relationships, I bet it'll be a load of rubbish."
