Sheridan raced home after mailing the letter. She knew that Ashleigh might get upset not seeing her mother after waking up. But when she arrived at her apartment, she saw ambulances and polices. Sheridan sees Ashleigh, standing next to a man she didn't recognized. She hurried across the noise towards her daughter. Who was this man? Is he dangerous?

"Ashleigh, darling, are you okay?" Sheridan seized her under her arms for safety.

"Mummy, you are here! There was a bomb in the house and I got separated from Mr. Richard. I was lost till this gentlemen helped me get out!" Ashleigh pointed at the stranger.

"Oh my god! Thanks for saving her. I don't know how I could live without her. Thanks a lot Mr.." Sheridan handed her hand for a shake.

"Mr Lopez Fitzgerald. Luis Lopez Fitzgerald! And you? No problem. You got an very special girl!" The stranger shook Sheridan's hand.

"Sheridan Crane. Yes, she is! So, as a token of thanks, do you want to join with us in dinner tomorrow night? We both appreciate it!" Sheridan gives her smile that makes her look really pretty.

"Oh my god! She is so beautiful! I think I am falling in love with the new stranger.!" Luis thinks to himself.

"Yes, I would be delighted! Anyway I got to go now! I see you tomorrow night then. Bye, Ashleigh and Sheridan!" Luis waved to Ashleigh, who waved back.

"Bye" Sheridan and Ashleigh said in unison.

The mother and daughter watched the stranger drifted apart from them. Sheridan and Ashleigh were allowed to go home when everything was back to normal. When Ashleigh went to sleep, Sheridan started to think about the new, handsome stranger who happens to love Ashleigh the same way she does.

"His he the one, Eric was talking about! Oh no I forgot to tell Ashleigh about Eric. She will be so disappointed! Eric, why are you doing this to us?" Sheridan said aloud, crying.

Suddenly Ashleigh appeared from her bedroom and ran towards her mother.

"Mummy, what's wrong?" Ashleigh kissed her on the cheek.

"Honey, there is something you need to know. Your daddy and I are not married any more but we both love you so much. Plus, daddy wants you to know that he won't be visiting you again! I am so sorry1" Sheridan looked at the young girl's eyes and so how distressing this news is. "Mummy, I hate you! Why did you leave daddy? Does that mean you will hate me too?" The young girl screamed right in her mother's face!

"Honey."

It was too late as Ashleigh ran out of the house before Sheridan could explain. Sheridan ran after her.
