"My home is open to you, I'm not going force you to live with me. If you are happy here then that's fine, but if you want to live with me id be happy to have you." Roy said holding her hand and gazing into her eyes. "I asked for an answer, a for sure answer. So what will it be?" He asked her.

"I want to , Please" she replied "It is about time i moved out and i can't think of anyone I'd rather be with " she said lean over place a soft kiss upon his lips , as the sun began to set.

"Great" Roy smiled then kissed her again. "Since tomorrow is Friday and I'm probably taking the day off to recuperate from what happened today ill come by and move you in, okay? So get all your stuff packed and ready by tomorrow afternoon." He said while getting close to her.

"Okay, I'll talk it through with my uncle tonight" she said nuzzling against him. Roy put his arm around her, holding her close and kissed her softly, she wrapped her arms around him, before the broke apart and Roy stood up and said "I best be going"

Darcie stood up too and dusted her self off and said "Mmh, lyric need a walk and I need to talk it through with my uncle"

Roy nodded "Okay, see you tomorrow. Thank you for tonight" as he kissed her cheek before walking away and getting in his car pulling away.

Darcie side and head back inside and lyric barked holding her lead "I know girl, but hold on a few second okay?"

Lyric barked and sat down and waited for her mistress.

"Mike!" she called, head down the hall and her uncle stuck his head out of the kitchen "Yes Darcie?"

"Can you come with me, while I walk Lyric, I need to talk to you about something" she replied

Mike looked worried but nodded "Okay, let me go grab my coat". He had changed out of his suit and was already in his usual blood splatter attire. Darcie sighed, grabbing her coat of the rack. As mike went to get his from the lab.

Once he returned Darcie clipped lyric lead to her collar and they began to walk her.

"So Darcie what do you need to talk to me about?" her replied. Trying to avoid eye contact with the people out. Darcie could hear the people talking about him they said stuff like "Who is he?" and "look at that scar, do you think he is an ex solider, he is really quite attractive" she chuckled and said "You really should get out more often and find you self someone" before sighing "And that kind of what I want to talk about…"

"Ohhh… I don't like where this is going "he replied

"I have been with you way to long… but I can't move back to east city, because my parents don't want me around anymore" she replied softly

"Yes and I told you, stay with me as long as you like" he replied

"Yes I know , but I'm getting older , and you soon going to run out of time to find someone" Darcie whined "And I know I'm the reason you have found anyone yet, people think I'm your daughter not you niece "

"So I don't need a woman, I have you "he smiled

"Well you did, but Roy has asked me to move in with him" she replied

"and?" Mike asked

"I said yes of course , And from tomorrow afternoon , I'm no longer going to be living with you" she said calmly "I think you should start looking for a girl"

"Darcie want to know why I haven't found some yet " he replied

"Why?" she asked

"Because I had a girlfriend back when I was in the military and I lost contact she moved, and I have never been able to forget her" he replied " she was beautiful long dark hair , red eyes , pale skin the name of an Angel… Oh if I could find Sophie I be happy… doubt she remember me"

Darcie could hardly believe her ears "Sophie?"

"mmh why?" he asked

"I think I know who you are talking about " she said and she turned and head back to the pub she had spent the night at with Jean.

The entered and the lad jeered "Hey It the Ishaballan again, Not go so well With the Military guy? Look for another tonight?" one said and Darcie stuck her tongue out picking Lyric up and her uncle look nervous "Can we go…"

"Mike is that you?" Sophie said running over to where Darcie and he stood.

"Sophie … it is really you?" he replied

"Yes, Oh mike I can't believe it is you" She turned to Darcie "how did you know I knew Mike Sinclair?"

"He is my uncle" she replied smirking

"I can't believe I found you after all these year" Sophie said Come out from behind the bar hugging him. Mike pulled her close and buried his face against her soft hair and murmured "The hugs you give are the same as ever"

Sophie laughed and said "I get of work in 10 can you wait for me"

Mike nodded "I might stay for a drink if Darcie doesn't mind"

"Course not" she said "I need to get home and start to pack" she replied before waving with a smile

Once Darcie had got home she gave lyric some water and food and wondered if she be able to take lyric with her. She'd have to ask Roy when he picked her up tomorrow.

She ruffled the puppy's fur before heading up stairs , she pulled out her suit case from under the bed and grabbed 2 boxes and began to pack the thing she would need in to them both, the box weren't big about 30 cm deep and only big enough to lay an A4 sheet of paper in flat.

She left her clothes out for the morning and to sleep in before she got her self a shower and leave out her hair brush, toothbrush and other bits for the morning before changing in to her sleeping clothes and , clean up before climbing in the bed.

She woke up abut 2 hours later to some girl giggling and her uncle saying "oh gosh sorry" before the girl shh him "She be asleep don't wake her" lyric was laying curled up by Darcie.

Darcie assumes it was her uncle with Sophie and unluckily was confirmed with that theory after her uncle Moan her name from his room. Darcie Buried her face and pulled a pillow over her head, but it didn't do much. As she didn't get much sleep that night.

She finally got to sleep about 4 and was woken up at 8 by lyric waking up and she growled lowly as she got out of bed, and got dressed before doing what she need to and finishing her packing, and going to make her self a black coffee, fuming from lack of sleep and metal scared as she would say, wishing she hadn't introduced them back together.
