He puts the keys in the ignition, and starts to drive. The rain pounding on the windscreen the wipers were on full. He wonders how he could even drive in this weather. He thought of turning back, but he couldn't, he had said he was going, and he wasn't going back on his word. The pounding of the rain echoing in his mind, the drive seeming to take longer than before, the roads are empty this doesn't surprise him, that seems to be his life right now.
She places Aaron down on the coach in the living room; she goes to put the kettle on for a cup of coffee. She comes back and sits across from her son watching him sleep, somehow when she looks at Aaron she forgets everything, the lies, the pain that it took to get here, what she's lost, but where she is now. She wouldn't even be here if it weren't for him, taking care of Aaron was just a role that was thrust upon her, at first she was hesitant to accept it, didn't think she could, but now when she looks at him, it's moments like this she realises it was all worth it. The sacrifices they all made to keep him alive, and that's why she puts his feelings before her own. Aaron is her priority; everything else will have to be put on hold, unless they could learn to accept things the way they are, otherwise she will just have to carry on the way things are. But is this for the best, the situation she's in now putting doubt on her.
He's finally arriving at his destination, pulling up the driveway. He parks his car, and turns of the ignition. He hesitates; he leaves the keys in the car for a moment, looking out the window. Something about this place makes him feel queasy he should be living there. He takes a deep breath, takes his keys out the ignition, and opens the car door. The rain soaking him through already. He jogs towards the door, hoping that he'd get an answer quickly.
She hears the kettle boiling; she stands and heads into the kitchen. She looks at the clock; it had been a while since she had made the call. She shakes her head. Be patient, it will be the weather. She pours herself a cup, and takes it back to the living room. She sits down and blows into the cup, before taking a sip. She then places it down on the table in front. She hears a knock at the door she looks up. She stands wiping her mouth. She heads towards the door. She starts to unbolt it; she places her hand on the knob. She opens the door.
"Hello. – Come in, come in, get out of the rain."
She stands aside. Then closes the door.
"Do you want a drink? Coffee's still fresh. - Sure. Of course, if you want to follow protocol, you can check anywhere; if you need anything just ask? - Erm, I didn't catch your name. Officer Jenkins right. So, you gonna ask me any questions first? - Right and your name- Officer Smith. - Ask away."
