covers up.  He gently kissed her on the lips.
“Night my angel.  I meant every word that I said.”  He put the bedside lamp off and looked up.  The room was in darkness.  He walked over to the window and looked up at the stars.  It was a lovely evening.  He closed the curtains and walked out of the bedroom.
    David walked to his bedroom and took his clothes off and hopped straight in to bed.  He closed his eyes and smiled.  It had been the best day that he had ever had.  Victoria had enjoyed every moment.  And Amanda had accepted Victoria as if she was one of the family.  And when he was speaking about the future she hadn’t disagreed at all.  He smiled to himself.  He would have to do something about his business.  He needed to get out there and do more.  Make even more money.  He smiled as he went to sleep.
    Victoria got up.  Nicola turned everything off.  They walked to the different bedrooms.
“See you in the morning.”
“Hey how cool.  Dad never sleeps away.”
“I hope.”
“So do I.”  They both chuckled and went to their bedrooms.
    Victoria lay in bed and looked out the window.  It was so dark outside.  She heard the owl hooting and smiled.  It had been such a n ice day.  And Amanda was so welcoming.  She was nice to her and David.  She made them both feel welcome and at home.  She knew it was the first time David had ever fancied someone.  She hoped money didn’t matter to Amanda.  Because they were only just making ends meet.  Every cent was welcome.  It wasn’t as if David didn’t work hard.  But he had to fetch her from school every day and it did make it different.  And he never asked for help from anyone.  She sighed.  She wondered what the future held for her.  She would not be going back to school.  She knew she would have to get a job.  She closed her eyes and went to sleep.

CHAPTER 8
    David woke up and looked at the cup of coffee next to the bed.  He looked down at his body.  He sighed a huge sigh of relief.  Only his chest was open.  He sat up and drank the hot coffee.  He looked at the chair and saw his clothes neatly folded.  He put the cup down and got up and quickly put his underpants on.  He hopped back in to bed.  He heard the knock.
“Come on in.”
“Hey Dad!”  He chuckled.
“You have to stay in bed.”
“And why is that?”
“Because you are being spoilt with breakfast in bed.”
“I am?”
“You definitely are.  Hop in Victoria.  I brought yours too.”  Victoria giggled as she hopped in the bed.  Nicola followed with another tray.  David smiled as they all sat down and had a full breakfast.
    “Now this is what I call spoiling.”  Nicola chuckled.
“I did the eggs.”  Amanda chuckled and nodded.
“And Victoria did our little chipolata sausages.”  Victoria chuckled and nodded.
“I love these sausages.  We can never find them.”  Amanda nodded.
“I don’t buy my meat and that kind of thing in the chain store.  I have a butcher that supplies all my meat.  I tell him for how many people and what I would like to see.  All the different sausages.  And then he packs it in to hampers.”
“How many hampers do you buy?”
“Well.  I buy one for the hands.  That is a real big one.  And then I buy one for my Mom and Dad.  And then one for Sydney.  And one for myself.  I get very good prices so that is why I buy so much.”
“Every month?”
“Every single month.  Sometimes I eat a lot.  Sometimes I eat just a little.  So I do the same every month.”
    Nicola shook her head.
“Why do you buy Sydney a hamper as well?  Olive works.  And he works.”
“Olive is my brother’s wife.  Sydney is my brother.”  David smiled and nodded.
“Sister in law.”  Nicola nodded.
“Because I get such good prices I can afford to.”  Nicola nodded.
“Does the butcher give it to you for free?”  Amanda chuckled.  David hid his smile.
“No.  But he has excellent cuts of meat.
