I don't own the 7H characters.

Just to say for dinner they had pork casserole with mash potatoes and vegetables.

'Thank you for a lovely dinner,' Lisa told Annie.

'Your welcome, you must come again,' she offered.

'You should come over to ours sometime.'

'Especially if you like sauce from a jar, and ready made salad,' Tia joked.

'Ha ha, you slay me,' Lisa said sarcastically.

'We should get going, there's some stuff to do before Jake and Kieran start school tomorrow', Robert said.

They said their goodbyes and went to the door, but before they did Simon whispered to Tia to meet him in the library in the morning.

As soon as Eric and Annie had gone to do the dishes, and the twins were in their room the kids laid into Simon.

'You kiss her?' Ruthie asked.

'No,' Simon answered quickly.

'But you like her?' Robbie asked.

'What is this? Twenty questions?' Simon asked.

'No we only asked you two,' Lucy laughed.

Simon rolled his eyes, 'I've got homework to do.' He quickly made his exit, grabbed his folder from the living room and headed up to his room.

'He must like her, he's doing his homework!' Lucy said a little surprised.

Tia was sitting on her bed reading a book when Lisa cam in and sat by here. 'Simon's a nice boy, isn't?' she asked.

'Yeah he is,' Tia replied looking up from her book.

Lisa took the book away so she could look her daughter in the eye. 'I said Simon's a nice boy isn't he?'

'I heard what you said,' Tia smiled, she knew exactly where this conversation was going.

'You like him?'

'Maybe!'

'Maybe? What do you mean?'

'Too early to tell. I only met him today,' Tia still hadn't told her it was him that knocked he over. She didn't see the point seing he ht the floor too.

'Does he have a girlfriend?' her mum had a glint in her eye which made Tia blush.

'Dunno, he might, might not. Don't think he does,' well she hoped he didn't anyway. 'I might go to sleep now,' Tia wanted out of this conversation before her mum mentioned the dreaded 'S' word.

'Ok sweetie,' Lisa kissed the top of her head, 'Goodnight.'

'I love you,' Tia called.

'I love you too honey,' Lisa called back.

Tia often told her she loved her family she loved them, she wanted them to know

just in case something happened and she wouldn't be able to tell them anymore.
