Tuesday 15th July Continued...
A couple of hours later Peggy and Ronnie end up outside an old house, which looked deserted.
"And this is where you wanted to bring me", Ronnie said unimpressed.
"Come on", Peggy said as she walked up the path and knocked on the door.
"You sure it's safe", Ronnie asked as she joined Peggy at the door.
"Hello", a deep manly voice said as the door opened. There stood an tall man, mid 50's with grey hair.
"It' me", Peggy smiled, "Peggy...Peggy Mitchell".
"Why didn't you say", the man shouted, "Come in. Come in".
Ronnie followed Peggy inside slowly, still feeling uneasy with the whole situation.
"Ronnie darling this is Graham", Peggy said sitting down, "You're Uncle Graham. Archie's brother".
"Nice to see you", Graham said approaching Ronnie making her move back.
"I don't think this is a good idea", Ronnie said to Peggy terrified.
"Don't be silly Ronnie", Peggy said tapping the settee.
"Just 10 minutes then", Ronnie said avoiding any contact with Graham as she sat down beside Peggy.
"Cuppa?", Graham asked with a big grin on his face.
"Yes please", Peggy said smiling.
"No", Ronnie said sternly.
"What's a matter with you?", Peggy whispered to Ronnie as Graham went in the kitchen to make the tea.
"Nothing", Ronnie said putting on a fake smile.
Meanwhile, Roxy and Sean are having a stroll along the beach as the sky begins to darken.
"Nice isn't it", Roxy asked Sean as she looked up at him lovingly.
"Be better if we weren't stuck with your sister", Sean said firmly.
"What's that meant to mean", Roxy said raising her voice.
"Just you're sister always tags along", Sean added modestly.
"We always have and always will", Roxy bite back.
"I can see that", Sean said bitterly.
"Ronnie was right", Roxy said annoyed backing away from Sean, "You men are all the same".
"Don't be like this", Sean responded trying to grab hold of Roxy but she was having none of it, "You women are all the same. Say one thing but want another".
"I gave everything up for you", Roxy screamed.
"Yeah", Sean said sarcastically, "Cos' you're freedom is everything".
"Yes it is", Roxy shouted turning her back to Sean and walking off.
"Hold on", Sean shouted running up behind Roxy and stopping her, "You can't just run off in the middle of no-where".
"Never knew you we're so concerned about my well being", Roxy said bitterly.
"I'm not", Sean shouted.
"Well you should be", Roxy screamed, "I'm pregnant".
Sean just stood there gobsmacked as Roxy stormed off.
Back at Graham's house Peggy and Graham are in full conversation as Ronnie sits there nervously looking at her watch.
"Am I boring you Veronica", Graham asked grimly.
"No", Ronnie said lying, "Just we been here 2 hours and I haven't heard from Roxy and it's getting dark".
"Roxy's a big girl and she's got Sean to look after her", Graham growled.
"How did you know about Sean", Peggy asked taken back from what he knew.
"You told me", Graham said trying to wiggle out of the situation.
"No we never", Peggy said alarmed looking at Ronnie who stood there terrified.
"Aunty Peg", Ronnie said tugging at her, "I think we should go".
"Not yet", Graham yelled as he stood up making Ronnie and Peggy sit down in shock.
Meanwhile back at the beach Sean had finally got the courage to look for Roxy. After half an hour of searching for her, he found her sitting on the merry-go-round downing a bottle of vodka. Sean stormed up to her, grabbed the bottle of vodka and smashed it off the ground.
"What the hell do ya think you're doing", Roxy shouted getting off the merry-go-round and poking Sean in the chest.
"You shouldn't be drinking", Sean shouted.
"You don't control me", Roxy yelled back.
"As long as you're carrying my kid...I do", Sean bellowed picking up Roxy and carrying her back to the hotel. Roxy couldn't fight back; she was to drunk and fell asleep in Sean's arms.
Meanwhile, back at the house Ronnie and Peggy turn their heads round as the front door slams shut and heavy footsteps head towards the sitting room. The sitting room door creaks open and a tall shadow emerges...
"Hello Veronica", Archie said powerfully.
