She didn't want to show him but he tore the paper from her hands. His eyes widened'
'You got one too?'
'What do you...oh my God! You got one!'
She burst out laughing.
'Maybe it was right...' he contemplated 'Alex, how about we go out to dinner?'
She looked at him laughing, then realised he was serious. Her face dropped.
'Er...er...why not?' she said not sure of it herself
'Good, I'll pick you up after work at seven round yours. We'll go to Luigi's'
'Okay'
Later that day
'Maybe they were right. Maybe we are meant to be'
'Maybe'
They kissed passionately and held one-another in their arms. There was a knock at her door. They sighed, pulling apart.
'I'll get it'
He waited.
'Jim? What are you doing here?'
'There's a woman in the office. We need to sort her out. We need a woman to help her. Sharon's away visiting relatives'
'Okay, we'll be right over'
'We'll?'
'Gene's here?'
'Hunt?'
'Yeah, why?' he said appearing from the shadows
'No reason'
At the office
'She's doing a Drake guv'
'Thank you!' she said offended
'Bolly, come on'
They walked in.
'Can we help you?'
'It's all different! I don't get it!'
'Care to explain who you are and what you're doing here?'
'My name's DI Molly Drake. I work here. You don't though'
'Molly?'
She turned her attention.
'Mum? But it can't be...you're...no no no no no!' she shook her head repetitively
'We all are. But we're at peace'
'Mum!' she ran into her arms hugging her.
They lived as a family from there on out.
