Charlie still couldn't believe what nick had given him and fletch began to read out Tess letter.
Dear Tess
I am glad that you have finally found happiness because you deserve it.
As fletch said this he smiled at Tess which didn't go unnoticed by Louise who wouldn't dare say anything or Zoe would murder her
After what happened with mike I am glad that you have found someone who loves you and makes you happy.
Love nick
"Great even nick knows" said Caleb
"Knew" said noel
Noel got a look from Louise to tell him to shut up and he did and turned his attention back to fletch who pulled a cheque from Tess envelope.
"25 grand" said fletch handing the cheque to Tess who smiled
"I wonder what Zoe is going to get" said noel to Louise
Zoe gave noel the same look Louise had gave him
"Just shut up" said Louise to noel "and you won't get into trouble"
Charlie looked at Zoe's letter in his hand
"Do you still want me to read it" said Charlie to Zoe
"Please" said Zoe
Zoe looked at Zoe's letter and smiled as Zoe's letter was the longest as them all, Charlie found comfort in this as even he knew that nicks feelings for Zoe had never died cause how could they have after all nick and zoe were the perfect couple everybody knew that even max.
"What" said Zoe to Charlie?
"Are you sure that you want me to read it out, should the staff even know what it says" said Charlie
Charlie showed Zoe the length of the letter and Zoe smiled hoping that it wouldn't contain anything about her and nicks relationship.
"It will be fine" said Zoe
"Are you sure" said Tess "I wouldn't be surprised if it was all lovey dovey after what he said to you before he died"
Everyone shot around like a bullet to Tess and zoe just sat down not even caring what Tess had just said as the one thing that zoe knew and actually cared about was that nick Jordan one of the few people zoe actually cared about had died knowing that the person he loves has moved on. zoe questioned herself about whether she had moved on or not, but she was having a baby with max so how couldn't she have moved on, she thought, zoe was brought out of her thoughts by Tess speaking.
"It was like the titanic love scene" said Tess "where just before the man dies he tells the woman how much he loves her, only Zoe threw it back min his face"
"Tess" said Zoe
"Sorry" said Tess
"Its ok" said zoe "but it wasn't as bad as it sounds, I let him down gently"
"Couldn't you have just told him that you loved him so that he could die happily" said Charlie
"no cause he would die believing a lie and anyway at this point he was going for the operation, he could have survived and what would I have down then?" said zoe
"You would have been stuck" said Tess
"Exactly" said Zoe trying to make the staff understand which to Zoe's surprise they did
