Chapter 24
Kane arrived back to see Kirsty waving goodbye to her mum. Kirsty looked happy, which was a good sign. He was worried he'd come home to tears, or anger, to find Kirsty had been taken home. But no, things were all good. He approached Kirsty who hugged him.
"So things went well then?" he asked, surprised.
"Yeah, she basically said she accepted our relationship, but that I had to build some bridges"
"I guess we all need to do that"
Kirsty looked at Kane. "Starting with friends and family right?"
"I guess so babe." Kane knew it would be hard, but it had to be done. Somehow.
"I think I'll start with Seb. I let things get so bad between us. He's my best friend."
"Okay, what about your family?"
"I'll let mum deal with them first. She's got a better chance than us at changing their minds!"
Kane agreed. If there was one thing he was sure of, it was that Rhys and dani Sutherland hated his guts. But maybe Shelley could talk them round?

Shelley arrived back at the Caravan Park. She dreaded having to go in and see her family. She loved them dearly, but they'd probably never forgive her for giving Kirsty her blessing. She couldn't face telling Dani, and as for Rhys, well, his temper would probably get the better of him. She walked up and knocked on the door. Dani opened it, not sure what to say to her mother.
"Hi" Shelley began as she stepped inside.
Rhys rushed out from the kitchen. "Did you see her?"
"Yes I did"
"And?"
"She's, well, really good actually. Happiest I've seen her in a long time"
"And she's still living with him" Rhys asked through gritted teeth.
"They've made a life for themselves over there. I can't explain it."
"Did you ask her to come home?" dani asked.
This was the part Shelley was dreading. Telling her daughter she's actually agreed to Kirsty's choice.
"Mum?"
Shelley took a deep breath. "No I didn't sweetheart"
Dani frowned. "What's going on mum?"
"Kirsty is the happiest I've seen her in ages, with everything that's gone on I only want to make her happy." Shelley started making excuses, but she knew nothing could excuse her actions today. "I told her if she wanted to keep seeing Kane then I wouldn't stop her"
Dani stared at her mum. "You did what?" She couldn't quite take this in.
"Dani, I can't stop her. At least now we know where she is, if she's okay."
"I can't believe you mum."
"Dani, I'm trying to do what's best.."
"For Kirsty maybe, but not for me. How could you. How could you even think of accepting that man? He ruined my life." Dani ran off in tears. Why did all her family have to betray her? She'd never forgive her mum for this. Never.
