"Right I have to go away for tonight baby girl, you're going to stay with Esther and Brian. They have a dog called Scampi. You be a good girl!" Sandra said as they stood on Esther's doorstep waiting for the door to be answered. "Sandra! They all said you were back but I didn't believe them." "Yeah, Esther said you'd look after Olivia tonight." "Yeah, she's gone to get some food in." "Right well here's her bag it's got everything she needs in. There's some toys, clothes and her epi pen. She's allergic to nuts, she'll also need help getting her teeth cleaned, and getting dressed. She doesn't sleep unless she's had a story before bed so I left one in her bag." Sandra told him making sure she'd not forgotten anything. "Okay, come in, Esther'll be back soon." "I really must be off but thanks again! Bye bye baby, remember what I said and I'll be back before you know it." "Bye bye mummy." "Love you baby." Brian had now shut the door and Sandra was about to turn to get into the car she'd since hired for while she was back in the country. "Sandra wait!" Came an all too familiar voice. "Not now Gerry." He grabbed her arm to stop her. "We need to talk." "Not right now we don't, I have something I need to do." She said cruelly as she shook him off and got into the car, she drove off leaving Gerry stood where he'd been before on the pavement. She drove for a while just to get away as she heard her phone go. Ignoring the missed calls from Gerry she skipped to the text she'd received instead and saw he'd texted her where to meet him. When she got to the met building she felt weird going up to the reception and telling them who she was here to see when just four years before she could wander around the building as she pleased. She found the escort she got to him weird as well. "Sandra, I thought you were too busy to talk to me?" Strickland said calmly as he saw just how stressed Sandra looked. "Yeah well there's something I need to tell you." "Do you want a coffee?" "Yes please." Sandra replied as he phoned through to reception and asked for two coffees, what surprised Sandra was that he remembered exactly how she took it. "So what was it you wanted to tell me?" Strickland asked now that they both had their coffees and there was no chance of any disturbance. "Erm, I don't know if you already know but I have a three and a half year old daughter." Sandra said as she showed him a picture on her phone. "No I didn't know, she's gorgeous though. Spitting image of you." She was surprised at him not knowing but it made her even more determined to tell him before someone else is. "I didn't realise I was pregnant until I was in France and by then it was too late to do anything about it. I fell in love with her when she was born." "I'm very pleased for you Sandra. But why are you telling me about her? We aren't exactly close friends." "Her name is Olivia and you're her father."
