There was 2 people in the office while the tape was still on after Tess and Connie, 1 was fletch who sat and talked to Zoe and the other was Charlie who just made an excise for picking up the tape and left. Connie and Tess sat there listening to the tape; there was the sound of the door knocking

"Come in" said Zoe

There was a sound on the tape as the person came in

"Oh fletch" said Zoe

As soon as Tess found out that it was fletch she looked at the ground

"Connie maybe we shouldn't be listening, this may be a private conversation" said Tess

Connie looked at Tess she thought that it was strange, like what could happen?, on the other hand Tess just sat there staring at the ground hoping that fletch and Zoe were not going to mention her name, but they both turned their attention back to the tape.

"Listen Zoe I know what this is about" said fletch "I'm sorry I'm late it's just the traffic was bad out there"

"Fletch there was not traffic" said Zoe raising her voice slightly "you were just having another argument with your wife"

There was silence that filled the room, fletch went to speak again but Zoe stopped him

"Fletch" said Zoe calmly "I know"

Connie looked confused, she didn't have a clue what Zoe was talking about, what was she supposed to know?, Connie then turned her attention to Tess wondering if this is why she didn't want her listening to the tape but Connie noticed that Tess was looking down at the ground and all the colour had drained from her face, Connie brought her attention back to the tape where Tess was hoping and praying that Zoe and fletch would say anything cause all she needed now was another person to know about the affair and the baby.

"What?" said fletch raising his voice "did Tess tell you?"

"No, I guessed" said Zoe

"Zoe I didn't know about the baby, if I would of..." said fletch

When Connie heard these couple of sentences she shot around to Tess like a bullet, Tess was now sitting on the chair, the colour still drained from her face but this time there was a tear dripping down her cheek, Connie stood there amazed that the strong Tess Bateman could be reduced to tears by a man, Tess knew that Connie was looking at her so she dried the tears and decided to look up, when she did Connie just pulled her in for a tight hug and started to ask questions.

"You and fletch" said Connie

"Well it wasn't one of my proudest moments" said Tess trying to smile

Tess and Connie broke from there hug and turned their attention to the tape, Connie didn't know if she should hit play or not, she really wanted to hear what Zoe and fletch was saying but didn't want to hurt Tess even more, Tess sensed this and pressed play as she herself was actually interested in what was going to be said.

"...you would have done nothing, everything would of worked out the same" said Zoe to fletch

"But" said fletch

"But nothing" said Zoe "you were never going to leave your wife and kids and even if you were going to Tess would never have let you, she is not that kind of person, she loves you too much"

Connie smiled at this and noticed the colour returning back into Tess face

"Well that were your wrong" said fletch "I love Tess with all my heart and I am going to leave Natalie" said fletch

"What" said Zoe "you have 4 kids with her one of which is new born"

"I don't love Natalie, I love Tess" said fletch "and I want to marry her"

There was silence in the tape and silence between Connie and Tess

"Wha what!" said Zoe

"Yes I am going to ask Tess to marry me" said fletch

The tape ended and Connie looked at Tess, the colour that had once returned to her face was now gone, Tess suddenly stood up and ran to the toilets where she was sick, Connie quickly followed her.

I would like to thank everyone again for all the reviews

I know this fletch and Zoe thing happened months ago but I just thought that I would mention it!:)
