I IN THIS STORY THIS IS BASED IN SEASON 19
Well that was a night and a half, don't you think?' Fin broke the silence as they all exited the lift.
'I love it when it's busy like that. Gives me a buzz'
'You would Olivia'
'And what is that supposed to mean Sonny?
'Nothing, I'm just joking. Right, work's forgotten. Who fancies a few drinks down in Forniles to end a stressful day?'
'You're talking my language. Few pints is what I need'
'Count me in' Amanda piped up
'That's my girl Manda'
'Olivia?'
'I can't guys, sorry.
'Come on Olivia you're living like a nun'
'Fin... what can I say?
' You need to start grabbing the bull by the horns and seeing what's out there' Sonny wasn't meaning to be harsh but he missed spending time with his friend.
'Look, I don't want to argue with you guys. Please, go, have a great night. Have one on me' Olivia thrust a twenty dollar note in Amanda's hand and left the building.
'Well... goodnight then' Fin called after her.
'Fin, leave it.
'Amanda, I'm only worried about her. She needs to have fun, I don't remember the last time she came out with us'
'I worry about her too you guys, but she knows where we are. Now, can we go and get the beers in? I'm parched'
Amanda grinned at Sonny the three of them started towards the pub.
Olivia walked through the park with Fin's words ringing in her ears. Was she living like a nun? Did she need to start having more of a life?.
She was 50, and outside of work, she didn't have a life.
Deep in thought, she absentmindedly stepped out into the road and was a third of the way across when she heard a loud horn. Snapping out of her thoughts, it was too late. The car. The horn. The loud screeching as the car attempted to break. The blinding brightness of the headlights. Then...
The grass. The gates of the park.
'Are you alright? You almost killed yourself stepping out like that'
Olivia was breathless and confused as to what just happened. Only one question could form in her head.
'Did a complete stranger save my life?'
Yes Olivia, yes they did. This stranger had saved you from one collision, but just by meeting him has just set you on course for another one. You just didn't know yet.
