Fight or Flight II She'd rung the hospital the night before and made sure they could fit with her plan. She had half an hour until she said she'd pick Olivia up and she wanted everything ready by then. She was just about packed up at the hotel and had one last thing to do before she left. "Mum?" Sandra asked as her mum was still laying in the bed. "The doctors discharging me." "Why aren't you up and ready to go then?" "The home can't pick me up until later." "Don't worry about that, you're coming to stay with me." "What in your hotel? It's hardly suitable." "No, we're going back to France mum. I sorted everything, our planes in two hours." "Did you speak to Olivia's dad?" Grace asked wondering if the response was why she was running away. "Yeah and it's fine, and you're fine so it's time to go home." Sandra lied. "Where's Olivia?" "Well when you get up we're going to pick her up so hurry up!" "Okay." Grace and Sandra were in a taxi now as Sandra had given her hire car back. The car pulled to a halt outside the Lane residence and Sandra hopped out. "Morning." Sandra smiled cheerily. "Morning." Esther replied just as cheerily. "Olivia, your mummy's here! Brian get her stuff for her!" Esther called. "How's she been?" "She was an angel, I'm sure she'll tell you everything." "Thanks again for having her." Olivia appeared at the door and was in Sandra's arms in seconds. "I missed you baby, what do you say to Brian and Esther?" "Thank you!" Thankfully Esther didn't associate the car with the Pullman's leaving, if she had then she might have done something to stop them. "We're going home baby, back on the plane and then you'll be able to sleep in your bed and have all of your toys!" "Yay! I'll see Elodie!" Olivia became excited. "Yep, you'll go back to nursery and ballet and Granny's coming to stay with us."
