"Enid..?" William said turning to her. "Hello, I wanted to ask if I could just say goodbye to Alwin... Julia wasn't certain whether that would be alright..." Julia looked up. "Yeah, with Alwin not William. I wasn't sure whether Alwin would want to after all..." William nodded. "It's up to Alwin not us." Enid nodded. "Can you ask him and let me know please? I'm staying at the WYC." William nodded at the same time as Julia.
"That was... Unexpected." William said. Julia laughed. "Not if you were in the morgue this morning. We didn't leave the door open. She was in there I wasn't expecting that." William looked shocked. "We left it open didn't we?" "Apparently not. Never mind about that what about Alwin. I'm not letting her near Lily again." William agreed. "No were not." "But we have to give him the choice to see her again." Julia sighed. "Yeah we do.." William agreed.
When they got home Alwin was in the lounge and Lily was with Sammy out in the back yard again. William and Julia were glad they weren't in there. "Alwin, can we talk a minute please?" Julia asked Alwin nodded gesturing them to sit down. "Enid is out of prison Alwin..." William started to speak when Julia took over. "... She wants to see you. That is if you want to. No one is forcing you do." William nodded. "But we don't want her anywhere near Lily because of what happened." Alwin understood. "Do you know where she is staying?" Julia nodded and said. "She said something about the boarding house down the road. WYC it's called." Alwin thanked them and left the house.
At the boarding house Enid was in her room looking out the window. Alwin was round the corner, he was hesitating whether or not to go see her. 'I know she's my mother but what she did was unacceptable she cannot do it again do I really want to see her?' He kept thinking that, that was the only thought going through his head.
He went into the building, he knocked on his mothers door. "Alwin you came. Thank you. Come in and sit." Alwin was hesitance. He finally went in. "Hello En- Mother." Enid looked shocked at what he said. "Really is it that hard to talk to me." Alwin looked away. "It's not hard as such... I haven't seen you in six years mother. I've been living with William and Julia for those six years. You kidnapped their daughter for crying out loud." Enid couldn't speak to make up for her actions. She knew what she done couldn't be undone and Alwin cared for these people. "Mother this took a lot of courage for me to come here today. I didn't want to bring Sammy because he looks at Julia as his mum." Alwin headed for the door and said. "I've said good bye mum. I think you should just leave us alone now... Especially Lily." Enid nodded and looked to the floor. "Good bye Alwin." Alwin closed the door behind him.
As Alwin was walking out the boarding house he had tears in his eyes. It really was harder than he thought it would. He got into his flat and he was really tired. The next day after work he went to William and Julia's house. "How'd it go yesterday?" Julia asked Alwin nodded. "It went fine I told her to leave us alone she agreed. I just didn't think it would be as hard as it was." Julia and William shared a look. "You told her never to talk to again?" Alwin looked at them "No I just said my goodbyes and so did she, hopefully that's the end of it." Julia and William smiled at Alwin. Alwin went and joined Lily and Sammy.
Do you think it is the end of it William?" William looked at Julia. He walked over to her. "Yes I think it is now." Julia hugged William. William kissed Julia. "I hope it's the end of it William." "So do I..."
