Alyssa sat in the Diner for a long time. She ate her lasagne and Max ate some nuggets and chips. It felt strange being back here with her son with no one recognising them.
After a while she realised she had nowhere to stay. She supposed she could stay at a motel. But just then Leah sat beside her.
"So how long you in the bay for?" she asked.
"For good I hope."
"Where ya staying?" asked Leah.
"Motel probably until I find somewhere."
"Come and stay at my place. Might be a bit squished but there's a room free if you want it."
"Sure thanks so much."
"No prob. Lemme just finish up here and then we can head over there."
"'K thanks."

Alyssa wasn't surprised to get her old room back. She put her stuff in there and set up Max's travel cot. She was just walking out when she bumped into someone.
"Who are you and what are you doing in there?" demanded Ruby.
"I'm Alyssa and I'm staying here." Ruby looked at her shocked for a moment before running out to Leah. Alyssa waited a moment before following.
"I can't believe you're renting Charlie's room out! Have you forgotten her or something?"
"Of course not. But she needed a place to stay and I offered to let her stay here."
"How could you?"
"Ruby it's been five years. You have to move on. Charlie is dead and can't keep holding on the way you have been. She's gone and she isn't coming back." Snapped Leah. Ruby rushed out past Alyssa, tears streaming down her face. Alyssa walked into the kitchen.
"What was that all about?" she asked.
"Oh just Ruby." Replied Leah.
"She sounded pretty upset."
"It's just that her mum died a few years ago and your staying in her old room… It's just hard on her." she said. Alyssa nodded hating what she had done to her daughter.

Alyssa decided to have a walk around the Bay to see what was around. She left Max with Leah who was more than happy considering her son was all grown up now. He was doing his HSC this year.
She walked down the beach and saw Him. He was leaving the water with his surfboard. She kept walking until she bumped into him.
"Oh sorry." He said before continuing walking. He barely glanced at her! Alyssa decided to go and see if Angelo's was still around. It was. There she found Him again.
"Hi, can I have an orange juice please?" she asked.
"Sure thing." He said as she took a seat at the bar. He handed her the drink and she paid. "You new around here? Haven't seen you before."
"Well I used to live here but then I moved and now I'm back!" she said.
"Well welcome back. I'm Brax."
"Alyssa." She said shaking his hand.
"So how long you around for?"
"For good I think." She replied smiling.
"Well I'll see you around so." He said before walking away to serve another customer.
