the past and began to thank him for coming to see me at the hospital, and apologised to him for all the upset he found himself experiencing. But I told him that I don’t think I could have managed without all the support he had given me in getting Megan that night, and his words to us both during that time.
    I couldn’t really understand why he had been there at the hospital in Birmingham but said I was really glad he was.
    Alex explained that he had been in a meeting in the area and met my dad at the hospital to offer his support to our family at that stressful time. He said he considered my father to be a good friend which meant he saw all the family that way too.
    I remember thinking, (and not for the first time), how great this man was. He was running a multimillion pound business, but was a kind man who was really great with all his employees. He was nearly too good to be true.
    We talked about his business and my slow recovery and also the problems I was having with my marriage. To be honest it was a relief to talk about this with someone as most of my friends were also Gavin’s friends, and I didn’t feel could open up to them.
    Alex agreed that time apart would probably do Gavin and I some good and he offered to be there if I ever needed to talk. I remember thinking how refreshing it was for a man to actually listen for a change and I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to be in a relationship with this sweet guy.
    It was while thinking about how nice it would be to have his arms around me that I seemed, to my absolute horror to have fallen to sleep.
    For the first time in months I didn’t have a nightmare. Instead I dreamed that I was dancing once again with Alex, not as an eighteen year old but as the woman I am now.
    It wasn’t until I stepped into the shower over the bath the next morning that I realised I no longer felt any pain from my hip and neck but also my very pronounced limp had completely disappeared. Even the scar had healed to a faint silvery line. I didn’t question the reason why, I was just happy to move without physical pain any more. I started to feel like it was going be ok to be alive today.
    Despite how much better I felt I decided to stay on at my parents for another week. Alex came to see me again a number of times before I left for home and his presence by my side felt right. Like we could be more than just friends, although I wouldn’t ever presume he would want to be anything other than friends with me, I mean let’s face it, my own husband didn’t even want to be in the same room as me.
    When I eventually went home I found the situation with Gavin was the same as before and around five months after our daughter died we decided to separate. Gavin and I are still friends but our divorce is in process.
    Although we have let our lawyers handle the specifics of the settlement my father in law decided to buy my share of the house Gavin and I bought.
    He gave me a really good bonus on that price too, as a thank you for putting so much time and effort into the Layton family business that I helped grow into the successful company it now was.
    It will seem strange not to be as close to Gavin’s family, and as I am now back living with my parents again I am no longer near the friends Gavin and I shared.
    So here I am back at home after fifteen years trying to start my life all over again. And this is the reason why this evening I find myself waiting, all smartened up in a skirt suit and blouse to Interview for a job with Night Movers International.

    I could tell from the moment that Maggie brought her into the room that Julia was nervous but Maggie being the woman that she was immediately tried to get her to feel at ease by asking about a trip that Julia’s mum was organising to some shopping centre in Manchester.
    Quite why women would want to go to Manchester when we have a huge shopping centre in Sheffield is beyond me, but it seemed to get Julia chatting
