there quietly holding one another, I realise I don't
feel sleepy, I feel wide awake, too many thoughts racing through my head. I
can't help thinking of what the future holds for us, for me. Life has changed
rapidly, and I’m just starting to realise how much of an affect it’s going to
have on me.
    For a start, I have no job – I know I have the money from
Gladys and Malcolm, but that’s not the point – What am I going to do? I
can't not work, that will drive me crazy! Maybe I should just go back to
Chester House? Well, when I’m better. Hmm, something to consider!
    And Tristan – I can't believe I’m going to be living with him!
How weird is that. But it’s not like I can go back to my studio, not at the
moment anyway. I need looking after and it’s either with Tristan or Gladys, and
I choose Tristan. I wonder if Tristan knows what’s happened to my studio? I ponder
that thought for a moment. Which begs the question. If I decide to stay with Tristan
– Coral, what are you talking about?
    I stop myself and think about what I just said ...If I
decide to stay with Tristan?. ..I already know I’m going to stay with
Tristan, in-fact since Susannah shot me, all the fears I had about living with
him, marrying him, committing to him, seem to have disappeared – I’d marry him
tomorrow if I could – the sooner the better. Whoa! Where did that come from?
    I frown at my own thoughts, then shaking them off I try to
get back to my studio. What am I going to do with it? Sell it? Keep it and rent
it out? I just don't know... Which makes me think about Bob. Tristan said
he was happy for him to live with us, I hope he says yes, I can't stand the
thought of him down there...all on his own, it’s just not right!
    So if he does say yes, there will be Edith, Bob and Stuart
living with us full time – I don't even want to begin to think about how
weird that’s going to be!
    Which makes me think of Susannah, who’s in a nuthouse, like
my Mom – I have to speak to Tristan about it, as soon as we’re home. I
quickly shake of those thoughts and try to think of what else has changed.
    Gladys and Malcolm - They are staying...well sort off – I'm
so happy about that! And we have their wedding to go to. Then I wonder if
Debs is still moving to Spain? I’m not sure I want her to, which makes me think
of little Lily – I sigh inwardly. If they do decide to go, there’s not much I
can do about that... I will miss them...badly.
    And lastly, My Mother – Oh Mom, did you try to save me? I want a grave for her. I want to bury her properly. I hate her for what she
did, falling apart on me like that, but I also love her...so much, she was my
mother after all and she didn’t leave, my Dad did.
    I take a deep breath and clear my head of those thoughts, I
could be here forever, which brings me back to Tristan.
    I think back to the night I told him about Susannah, he was
so mad with me, I can't blame him, but I’m not too sure how I feel about him
ending it, asking me to leave – What if he does it again? What if I
marry him then do something really stupid and he leaves me? Where will that
leave me? Broken, totally and utterly broken, that’s where!
    I sigh inwardly... I guess we have a lot to talk about.
    “Tristan, are you sleepy?” I ask but I get no answer – Jeez,
that didn’t take long!
    Poor Tristan, I hope he doesn’t have another bad dream
tonight. I’ve had enough experience to know how awful and how real they can
seem. I squeeze him closer to me and revel in the feel of his solid, manly body
against mine.
    I may be in hospital, a place I would not send my worst
enemy for any length of time, but I feel so happy, so content, that I wouldn’t
change a thing, except to take away Tristan’s nightmares. Hmm... Maybe the
answer will come to me?
    With a full belly, and my beautiful man lying next to me, I
begin to relax.
    I concentrate on the sound of Tristan’s breathing, it
doesn’t take long before I’m drifting off
