A couple of hours later, they were walking along the beach side, while Phil and Lindsay were chasing Michael on the beach.
"You're quiet?" Eddie said, putting his arm around her shoulder as she pushed Ronnie.
"Just tired; Ronnie was up early again this morning"
"Want to go and get a cup of coffee?"
"I'll be fine; i'll...i think we should see what Michael wants to do"
"He's occupied for the minute; how about we see if Phil and Lindsay will look after Michael and Ronnie tonight and we'll go over to the club for an hour?"
"I dont mind"
"You need a break; even if it is just for an hour"
"Just an hour?" she asked for confirmation.
"I promise"
"Okay, we'll go for an hour"
"Good, how about that coffee? I think we could be able to persuade Michael to have an ice cream"
"Go on then but only if you promise to let me have a waffle sometime?"
"You can have as many as you want"
"I'll hold you to that" she said, glancing over at him before they called over to Phil, Lindsay and Michael.
That evening, after tucking Michael in and settling Ronnie into bed, they got ready before heading to the club; they grabbed a drink from the bar before sitting up to a table in the corner.
"You okay?" he asked, taking her hand.
"I'm fine; thank you for taking my mind off it all today"
"Anytime; i think Lindsay's really enjoying herself"
"She is; her and Phil, you know, last night"
"They did?"
"She told me in confidence though so you cant let on i told you"
"I wont; wow, so she's really over it all then?"
"I guess so; maybe it's time i started to...starting with this..."
She leant forward and kissed him lovingly before he went and got them another drink; when they arrived back at the chalet shortly after ten, Rachel was slightly drunk but had thoroughly enjoyed herself. Phil was sat on the sofa reading when Rachel sat next to him while Eddie got her a glass of water.
"Rache...are you drunk?" he chuckled.
"Yeah, she is; I'm gonna get her to drink this and get her to bed" Eddie said as he handed her a big glass of water.
When she had finished, Eddie helped her into the bedroom where he took her boots and jumpers off and pulled the duvet over them; as she mumbled 'i love you' into his chest, he put his arms around her and kissed her forehead.
