Thank you for the reviews on the last chapter, they were really helpful! Please keep reading as the story has only just begun. (Just to clarify Pearl is on a cruise and Paddy has moved back in with Rhona leaving Harriet living In Woodbine Cottage alone.)

Cains POV

I was nervous as I drove up to the front of the hospital, nervous to bring Harriet home. I'd been assured she was fine but I'm almost certain she's putting a brave front on things. I see her stood there with her bags on the floor next to her, she bent down to pick up one but stopped in her tracks as I shot her a stern look. She stood back up and walked towards my car, I swiftly got out and opened the door for her to get in. She looked up from inside my car and smiled at me, she knew that smile got me every time. I picked up her bags quickly and put them in the boot. As I got into the car and put on my seatbelt I felt the presence of a hand pressed on my leg. I looked over to her and gave her that same loving smile and started the engine.

Harriets POV

Neither of us had said a thing the whole journey home, it was a comfortable silence though, not an awkward one. As we stopped outside my cottage I looked over to Cain and decided to be the first one to speak.

"So then, what now?" I chuckled as I moved forwards in my seat.

"Fancy a cuppa?" He whispered to me softly, nodding towards my front door.

"Yeah, go on then" I replied, unbuckling my seatbelt and getting out of the car.

Cains POV

I got Harriet inside the house and made sure she was settled on the sofa with a blanket before getting up to make the tea. I put a few sugars in mine to keep me awake, I'd not been sleeping, not properly, worrying about Harriet.

"Don't say I never do anything for you" I laugh as I pass Harriet her Tea.

"Thank you lovely" she said with a smile. Lovely? She'd never called me that before.

"Why don't we go out for a meal tonight, my treat - if your up for it?" I asked her in hope of a positive response.

"Yeah, okay. I don't see why not." She smiled again, I loved it when she smiled.

"Are you okay whilst I go and check how things are at the garage?" I asked her, not wanting to leave if she didn't want me to.

"Of course I'll be fine, do I have to dress up tonight?" She said looking up at me.

"If you really want to, I'll pick you up at 7" I bend down, planting a soft kiss on her lips, and without saying another word left for the garage.

Harriets POV.

I had no idea what I was going to wear. We'd never really been on a proper date, nobody knew about us before. I must admit I was pretty scared about people finding out at first but now I don't care.

It was 6.30pm and I'd finished my hair and make-up but I still didn't have a clue what I was going to wear. I presumed Cain would be wearing a suit, probably a black suit, so maybe I should match. I picked out a fitted, black, body-con dress, that hugged my figure but not too much as my stab wound still hurt a little. I tossed on a pair of black high heels and headed downstairs. As I got to the bottom of the stairs I realised Cain was in the kitchen, and in fact was wearing a black suit.

"Hey you." I say as I walk round the banister and into the door way of the kitchen.

"Wow. You look incredible." He tells me, which makes me grin like an absolute idiot.

Cains POV

She looked amazing, I couldn't help but stare in awe at her. I never thought I'd ever fall in love again, I thought I'd never love somebody like I loved Moira. But I think I've fallen in love with her. Not just her looks, I love everything about her. Her smile, her confidence, her humour, her personality, everything. I know that I've never been good with sharing my feelings with anyone but I feel as if I need to tell her, that something's urging me to confess. And I will, tonight.
