Second Chances
Introduction
Danny Trevanion has always had a routine.
He likes to have a routine; it helps him concentrate on the important things in his life, such as his work, and his daughter Rosie. This routine however does not leave him with very much free time, and he likes it that way. The free time he does have is either spent with Rosie, or working in his study, if he can't occupy his mind with anything else.
He tries desperately to avoid any free time just sitting down and doing nothing; that is a definite no, no. That would inspire thinking, and that is dangerous territory for Danny. Thinking leads to remembering, and remembering is the most painful and devastating aspect of his life right now.
He never thought that he would outlive the woman he loved. He was never very lucky in relationships, but he never, in a million years, would have expected such a horrific event to happen in his life. He had been a widower for seven years now; it was getting easier, now that he had put his life back together, and of course he had Rosie, his rock, his little girl. It was just the two of them, but they were happy.
Rosie could tell that her father got lonely sometimes but she knew that was something to expect. She was fifteen now, she wasn't stupid, she could look through Danny's brave exterior and see a grieving man struggling to keep his head above water, for both of them. Rosie helped him wherever and whenever she could; her school grades weren't the best, she was always distracted by her thoughts of both her parents, mostly worry for her father, but then she had never been really academic anyway.
She had come off the rails slightly at school; she had even escaped or just not turned up sometimes. At her age she needed a mother, her world was changing and she couldn't really talk to Danny about some things; she didn't want to trouble him about them. Both of them were broken, but it helped that they had each other to rely on. They considered themselves very lucky for that reason alone. They both knew that they had got through the pain, and the confusion of Miranda's passing because of each other.
But what neither of them knew was that their world was about to change much more, just a month later….
