Josh listened to her speak, surprised that she considered him and Trish family so soon. Yet she brought him a sense peace that he didn't think he ever would have had. He leaned into her hand when she pulled back and held his cheek in her hand, closing his eyes and savouring the touch before looking at her and nodding, "thank you Serena" he told her warmly.

Kay grabbed his hands and held them firmly but not painfully to help stop him from removing the towel off his eyes. "you can do this John, it'll be over soon enough" she told him, hoping she was right in that assumption.
