On Monday, they gave Sue the three contracts to add to the client list, with all the contact details filled in. Willow gave things some thought, and rang Helen, their secretary.

“Helen, I’ve been thinking. How would you like to share an office with me in Enfield. I have enough room to add a desk, and the house computers are extremely good. There are seventeen other girls here and are a great bunch.”

Your Love is Kind

Sung to the tune of Chanson d'Amour by Gabriel Faure.

Your love is kind, Your love is true.
Love is not boastful and not haughty
Your love is kind, It guides my travels,
It leads my path to all your children.

You see my pain. When I defy you,
love can heal me and make me whole.
Love does not boast, It cares for all.
It endures all of our despair.

The sun’s shining
Heat warms me

And leap into the air

Chapter 4

Willow got the two bands together in one of the function rooms after breakfast.

“I have some news that will please you. I received a phone call from Rufus, our manager, this morning. As of yesterday afternoon, he has made a deal with the manager of ‘Enlightened’ to be their manager outside of Australasia, as your manager doesn’t normally work outside of Australia and New Zealand.”

Samantha and her friends looked puzzled.

“What does this mean for us, practically?”

(Julia.)

I was back at school, and it was playtime, and as usual the favourite game was shove Julia around.

“Who would want to be a foster carer for you?” Shove!

“You are a worthless piece of shit!” Shove!

Teddy opened his eyes on grey day. The thin curtains did not hide the sound of rain cascading down the window of the drab room he rented in an HMO (House of Multiple Occupation). The sounds of his neighbours were obvious through the thin walls as they got ready for work, and left.

Chapter Seventeen – Jessie is told she has to back off!”

(Jenna.)

Once Jacqui and Deborah had taken Julia off the ward, I closed the door to the side room.

Dr Hunstanton sat in front of Jess and studied her carefully.

Chapter Thirteen – Family Conference.

(Jennifer.)

It was a quiet journey home from the hospital, I don’t think either of us could get past the similarity between Julia and a young Jessie.

Jeff kissed me after locking up and quietly went up to bed, but I couldn’t settle so I sat in the kitchen nursing a cup of tea while I got my thoughts into some sort of order.

Chapter 2

The new band may have been conceived, but it’s parents didn’t know that yet. They had been having fun, playing as well as seasoned performers could, but, at that time, fun was all it was. At the end, though, they stood on the stage as their friends applauded them and started hugging.
