The afternoon had been spent at Alix's parents, house. The break was much needed, and it had given her enough of a break to gain a little perspective. Of course she was still angry. But Alix now felt like she could be in the same room as Josh without wanting to hit him over the head with something, and that was progress.

Luca and Soohie had been hyper all evening. They'd clearly been pumped full of sugar and E numbers by her parents, and it had be near on impossible to do anything with them. Thankfully, they were now in bed - but Luca was certainly pushing his boundaries. He'd already shouted and stomped his way through the whole house, hidden snacks in his pillow case and was now demanding water at the top of his lungs.

Have children. That's what everybody said. It was such a lovely, wholesome experience.. And yes, it was lovely, and she did absolutely adore Luca and Sophie - but they were an absolute pain at times. But, after taking Luca his water, Alix threw on her pyjamas and settled herself on the couch, just in time to hear Josh walk in the door.
