'This is going to be a long night' Casey murmured to Ruby. 'They are your family, remind me why I am here?' Ruby whispered. 'Because Casey wants to share these eventful dinners with you and next time you complain about your mother, think about ours' Brax replied. 'Hmm' Ruby said whilst wishing she could have a quiet night at home like Charlie. 'Come on people, sit down, dinner will be ready in a minute' Cheryl said, deciding not to let Tegan ruin her night with her boys. 'Can I help?' Ruby offered. 'Oh, are you trying to score points here sweetheart?' Tegan said rather ironically 'I don't think it will work though, you come from the wrong town hunny'. 'Oh, I can see that… yeah, you must be right, I mean you and Cheryl are definitely besties no?' Ruby replied. 'That's my girl' Casey smiled. Cheryl managed to get the dinner served all by herself, obviously trying to act as motherly as possible. Brax and Heath appreciated her efforts, but knew this dinner occasion was a ticking time bomb. Someone was about to lash out at some point.
There was constant tension when Tegan decided to drop a little bombshell… 'So Brax' she started 'if you want some real sex, you know you can give me a call, right?'. 'Oh my god, did I hear that correctly?' Brax thought to himself whilst raising his eyebrows and looking rather unimpressed with Tegan's latest comment. 'What is sex?' Darcy asked before Brax could come up with an appropriate answer to Tegan's inappropriate question. 'It is a game adults play' Heath answered. 'Like Monopoly?' Darcy asked her daddy. 'Yeah, something like that' Heath said trying to sound as serious as possible. 'Can Casey play it? Casey always says he is an adult, but Cheryl always says he is not' Darcy said innocently. Brax, Casey and Ruby started laughing. 'I am pretty sure Casey plays that game, yeah, but he is old enough so that is okay' Brax replied to the unusual question asked by an eight-year-old. 'Anyway, to answer your question Tegan, I am not complaining, not by a long shot' Brax continued, looking at Tegan with more passion, desire and satisfaction then he had ever shown her. Tegan's cheeky grin disappeared because she knew he wasn't thinking about her, it was that stuck up and way too skinny cop who was on his mind. Tegan felt the defeat, but forced a brave smile on her face. 'Can someone finally tell me what is going on here, seriously, what the hell is this about?' Cheryl yelled.
'Aye Heath, how is it going with my Italian teacher? Making any progress there?' Casey said, hoping to get the conversation of this awkward subject, even more because he knew Ruby felt uncomfortable talking about her mother's sex life. 'As a matter of fact I am making progress Casey' Heath said amused. 'What a woman: she is freaking hot, she knows what she wants… and she is great at playing Monopoly' Heath said with a cheeky grin on his face. 'Have you now completely lost it Heath?' Cheryl asked 'That bloody bitch falsely accused you of rape and now you are running after her, you are an even bigger loser than I thought you were, aren't there any hot girls here in Mangrove River, or have you tried them all?. 'Calm down, mum' Heath said 'You will like Bianca, she is quite feisty and funny… just like you'. Brax and Casey couldn't hold in their laughs. 'You know mum, Bianca is not that bad… we could be dating women that are way worse than her' Heath replied to Brax' laughing. 'I mean… we could date women who are much older, or younger, or who are married, or who have the wrong profession… like lawyers, judges, coppers…' Heath said amusingly whilst looking from Brax to Casey and back to Brax…
