A/N: Hey hey! (my greeting of the month!) Okay, so I lied - I said I'd have this posted in four days and that was what - two months ago? My apologies, I had two holidays to go on (yes, two!), then my brother stole the computer. Don't. Even. Ask. :) Oh yeah, and I don't own In A Heartbeat or any of the characters. Though it'd be nice to own Jamie. . . .

Life. Is. Good. Yeah. The tv - oh, god bless the tv - has something good on for once. There's actually some edible food in the fridge! Oh, and I didn't get yelled at by Alex yesterday - now, that makes a nice change. Yeah. Life's pretty damn fine.
Okay, admittedly, Caitie and Val have been acting a little - uh, how do I put this? - different lately, and for some reason, they've both been especially strange around me. To be honest, I don't have a clue what's going on with them - Val's been pretty much avoiding Caitie. Now, that's pretty strange for them. Hmm. . .wonder if I can figure out what's going on?
Nah. Can't be bothered. Anyway, the tv beckons. Watch tv. Tv good. Tv is kind, forgiving, and the tv loves me -
DAMN! Can't concentrate. This thing with Val and Caitie is actually starting to really bug me. Okay. So. . . 1) Val is acting weird around me 2) Caitie is acting weird around me 3) Val is avoiding Caitie
Hmmmm. . .what could this all mean? Oh damn. . .could Caitie have found out about the biscuit tin incident???????? No, she can't have, and that wouldn't explain why Val's avoiding her. Unless Val's embarrassed about it. . .yeah, that must be it!
Go me! I've FINALLY figured it out. Hey, even if I got it wrong (and I'm pretty optimistic that I didn't) I can still ask Caitie - she's coming round in about ten minutes. I cornered her yesterday and persuaded her to stop being weird and. . .hey, that's her at the door now. Early as always.
Biscuit tins - All these weeks of oddness, and I've figured out it's to do with BISCUIT TINS! Jamie Waite, you are a certified genius. Like I said, life is good. . .

*hope it was worth the long wait! Please read and review, and I promise I'll try to get the next chapter up as soon as possible. . .*
