"Sorry". I took a sip of my wine. "Need to see if I pass my exams first".

"I'm sure you'll pass with flying colours. So how have you been?".

"How long have you been in contact with my dad?". I couldn't do the small talk anymore. I needed to know, I had questions. "How about we eat first and then I'll answer all the questions you have".

"Shouldn't we wait for George?". Just then I heard a car pull into the drive.

"Food looks great Miss Wilson". Jake took the seat next to me grabbing my hand under the table.

"Please eat, George won't mind if we start without him".

We ate, we had small talk and I think I had a little too much wine. My head was a little fuzzy and I felt slightly buzzed.

One thing I missed was my grans cooking. I cleaned my plate and could have easily asked for seconds.

"Coffee Leah?". George asked.

"I'll help". Jake got to his feet and followed George to the kitchen.

I guess I was having coffee.

"I miss having you around".

"I wasn't the one that wanted to move out". The look in her eyes made me instantly regret what I said. "Sorry". I sighed.

"I thought I was doing the right thing".
