Chapter 14
They had been sat there for an hour. Flynn had done most of the talking. Kane sat quietly. He never once took his eyes of Kirsty. Kirsty meanwhile was intent on listening to everything Flynn said.
"So, basically, I think the only way this can be totally sorted is if we all go for mediation." Flynn finished.
"What? That's it?" Kane said
"Well what did you expect? Kane, you can't expect them to just accept you. It's gonna take time and work. If you are as serious as you say you are, then this is the only way"
"I think we should do it" Kirsty said confidently. She trusted Flynn. If he said it would help, then she'd do it.
"Kane?" Flynn asked, as though he was asking for approval.
Kane tried to imagine what it would be like, to sit in the same room, to have Rhys dani, the whole family understand their love.
"Kane?" Flynn asked again.
"Sure let's do it" Kirsty smiled at him. She reached for his hand.
"Well guys, I guess there's not time like the present."
"Kirsty nodded to Kane who stood up, took his girlfriend in his arms and kissed her. "Let's go get 'em babe"

At the Drop in Centre, Flynn was just outside his office, looking at Kirsty and Kane. They were hugging and kissing, like any normal couple, very much in love. He smiled. If things were different, this couple would have the strongest relationship he knew. Lost in thought he didn't hear Rhys Jade and Dani approach.
Rhys cleared his throat. It made Flynn jump.
"Rhys, hi, Dani, Jade."
Kirsty and Kane didn't hear them enter the office. As dani saw them kissing she gasped. It had shocked her, to see her sister so close to someone who had hurt her so much. Kirsty spun around, and caught her father's eye. Dani looked at Kane then looked away, feeling sick at the sight of him.
"Right guys, if you'd like to take a seat, we'll get started" Flynn was trying to play the nice guy, not taking sides, being a friend to all. The tension in the room made everything so hard. "Who wants to go first?"
