There was no authors note last time because the editor on in my control panel wasn't working. Just want to thank my wonderful editor again and I hope you all enjoy :)


The ferry finally stopped and the pair got off in Dublin only to get into a taxi for a two hour long car journey. They wouldn't be getting to Michael's until after midnight. Evelyn sat in her seat whilst Michael shoved their bags in to the boot of the car. Evelyn was relieved to find that there the hot air from the radiator heating the inside of the taxi. Michael slammed the door shut behind him and began to talk to the driver.

"Silver Birch Farm please?" he said to the driver.

"Where abouts is it?" the driver asked turning around.

"Do you know Edenderry?" Michael asked before the driver nodded "Well if you go down St Mary's Road and into Killane there's a road you go down, I'll guide you from there."

"Alright." the driver said as the taxi began to move into the busy roads of Dublin. Michael buckled his seat belt and pulled Evelyn closer to him. She snuggled into him, surprised by how warm he was. She decided considering it would take two hours, it would be ok to have a small nap.

However, when Evelyn's eyes fluttered open she found she wasn't in the taxi anymore and Michael was gone. The room she was in was simple with cream walls and a white chair rail. A magnolia chest of drawers sat opposite her beside a door made from the same painted- milky white wood. She was lying on one of the two beds in the room while her bags were placed on the other. She got up and went to the window behind her bed. Suprised, she saw the morning Sun lazily illuminate the minimalistic room with a warm smile. Quickly, she got changed and pulled on a pair of blue jeans, a black t-shirt and a coral red cardigan.

When she opened the door she was shocked to find a little girl rush inside. The girl was small with long blonde hair and big brown eyes. She wore a pink tutu, white tights and pair of purple fairy wings. The little girl dived under the bed that Evelyn had been sleeping on. Evelyn was a little confused but couldn't help giggling.

"Erica!" Michael's voice came from down the hall "When I find you I'll-"

He stopped when he saw Evelyn and he smiled at her. His hair was a mess of curls and his nose was bright red. He was also wearing lipstick.

"So you're awake then?" he said hugging her quite awkwardly.

"And your... a drag queen?" she asked as she noticed he also had neon pink blusher on his cheeks.

"No!" he exclaimed as he began pathetically trying to wipe the makeup off with the back of his sleeve "Erica thought it would be funny to do this to me while I was sleeping. When I find her I'm going to tickle her so much she'll have sore sides!"

"She's under the bed..." Evelyn whispered to him with stifled giggles as she gazes upon Michael.

She thought to herself "He actually looks quite pretty as a girl!" while failing to cover up the muffled laughter.

Michael slowly began to tip toe over to the bed before he dived under and tried to grab her. Erica slipped out from the other side however and darted out of the room. Michael looked like he was stuck as he kicked his legs around in the air.

"Want some help?" Evelyn asked before she heard a bang from under the bed and a few swear words from Michael.

"Yes please..." he whimpered in pain. Evelyn pulled him out from his legs and when he stood up she could see he had a large red mark on his forehead "I'll get her later. Have you had breakfast yet?"

"No, not yet." she said smiling

"Great, neither have I!" he said "Right come on."

"Don't you want to get the makeup off first?" Evelyn asked cheekily.

"It can wait; my stomach needs my attention first."

In the kitchen there was a tall woman with long, glossy, ebony hair that fluttered in the breeze from the kitchen while she was frying eggs in a pan. She was very beautiful with dark almond green eyes, a pale porcelain complexion and rosy pink lips. Michael crept up behind her and kissed her on the cheek, surprisingly he was the same height as her. He left a red lipstick stain on her cheek.

"What the hell are you wearing?" she asked him in her soft Irish drawl, like Evelyn she was giggling.

"Do you like my new look?" he said twirling around and pouting his lips "I think I look quite sexy"

"I think you look daft," the woman replied in fits of hysterics "take it off!"

"I've tried." he sulked sitting down at the breakfast bar "Besides. I thought you found pretty boys attractive."

"What makes you think that?" she said turning around and placing the eggs on a plate along with baked beans and two pieces of hot, buttery golden toast which Michael immediately began to shove into his mouth.

"You married one?" he said "You seriously don't think I'm sexy? She thinks I'm sexy!"

Michael was pointing at Evelyn which immediately caused her to blush. She wasn't sure what to say to that. She didn't have to however because it was the ebony haired woman who spoke next.

"If he starts giving you too much cheek then just hit him." she began to wash her hands in the sink "I'm Nancy by the way, the poor woman that has had to look after him all of his life. Tuck in love, I made it for you." She flashed a Hollywood smile at her, as Evelyn stood there speechless.

Evelyn sat down beside Michael and looked at the large breakfast. It was so much bigger than what she usually had. "Thank you!" she managed to pronounce as she began to pile baked beans onto her piece of toast.

"Well, we've heard a lot about you." she said starting to wash some dishes "We are blessed with a letter from Michael so often and every letter we've had has been about you and how smart you or how funny you are."

"I'm sure I sent you a letter which wasn't about her?" spoke Michael accusingly through a mouthful of beans. "Oh yeah I did! I sent you one asking if you could send me some money!"

"Doesn't count!" Nancy shouted over her shoulder "We later found out that that money was to buy a Christmas present for Evelyn."

"Yes but I didn't tell you that in the letter so it doesn't count, so I win!" he said throwing his arms into the air "Right, you might want to grab a coat, I have a surprise for you."

Evelyn wasn't expecting a surprise.

They had only been there for a few hours and already there was a surprise.
