By the time 9am came around everyone was awake and bustling around the house. Danny had finished at the animal hospital and was now ambling around with Daniel in his arms as he fed him. Charlotte was sat doing her homework with some help from Rosie, Liv and Thabo were sat close to one another talking discreetly. Dupe grumbled before sitting down beside Max as Caroline and Nomsa rushed around serving breakfast.

Alice looked at her reflection in the mirror and sighed before looking down at the sink leaning on it slightly. Today wasn't going to be pleasant, she could sense it. Well anyone with half a brain could sense it.

"You got to walk out there at some point Trevanion." Alice murmured to herself before taking a deep breath and walking out, Evan was just walking to the bathroom and barged past her rudely as she walked out.

"Evan!" Alice shouted angrily before being greeted with a slammed door. She clenched her fists before walking into the kitchen.

"Alice?" Danny asked worriedly looking at her livid expression, everyone had heard the shout of Evan and then the slamming of a door but no one knew quite what had happened.

"Let's just get on with breakfast." Alice snapped. Everyone nodded and began to eat. Danny who had already eaten earlier on kept his eye on Alice. Olivia finished at the same time as Thabo, she excused herself but not without cooing over Daniel. Danny smiled.

"Here take him for a while."

Liv grinned and looked to Alice who nodded with a soft smile. She beamed and looked up to Thabo who smiled back, both went to sit in the front room where it was quieter.

"Right... I'm going too... I dunno." Alice finished weakly before standing up, putting her plate on the side and walking away outside. Danny sighed and stood up and followed her. Rosie looked across to Max.

"Rosie..." Max began.

"I'm sick of him! He's upset her again!" Rosie grumbled.

Max sighed and wrapped an arm around her.

"Let's just wait til we get the full story eh?" Max smiled.

Rosie nodded and rested her head on his arm. Why did Evan have to turn up like this?

"Alice!" Danny shouted. "Alice!"

Alice continued walking until she reached the fountain as Danny jogged to reach her.

"Alice." Danny finally said for a final time softly. He stood behind her as she stared at the fountain.

"Why?" Alice asked quietly.

"Alice, what happened? Why did you shout at Evan earlier? What did he do?" Danny asked her.

Alice bit her lip as she turned to face Danny; she didn't want to cause a rift between them, Evan had a problem with her, fair enough, it didn't mean he and Danny had to fall out. Besides, Danny had far too much stress as it was, too much on his plate. She sighed and shook her head.

"Nothing... I wanted to talk to him, try and you know talk it through." Alice lied, "I don't want to cause any rift between you and him." She said, well that was kind of true! She wasn't fully lying... just not telling the full truth either.

Danny looked at her and shook his head.

"And he walked away?" Danny asked.

"Yeh, I tried to shout him back, it came out wrong... he's probably hung over." Alice countered. She sighed and walked closer to Danny.

"Probably... as long as you're ok." Danny said worriedly.

"I'm fine." Alice smiled walking up to him and wrapping her arms around his neck. He leant down and held her around her waist tightly, she buried her face into his neck as he kept his too close to hers. Both their eyes were closed as both began to sway and murmur quietly to one another.

Evan stood by the far end of the veranda... so she'd gone running to Danny eh? Told him all, grassed him up? Probably wanted to rip them apart. He scowled to himself before taking one last look at Danny and Alice. He stomped off angrily into the house and caught sight of Liv and Thabo laughing, sat close as they played with Daniel.

Evan shook his head and walked into the kitchen where he was greeted by Rosie...
