2021-01-17 00:34:44Daniel was definitely dressed for a date. He was wearing smart dark blue trousers with shiny chestnut dress shoes. His white shirt had clearly been meticulously ironed. Miranda had to admit, he looked pretty good.
For a moment, no-one said anything. Miranda just looked at the two people by the doorway, a little opened mouthed. Josh looked utterly confused.
“Surprise!” Sharon announced feebly.
Miranda still wasn’t able to say anything, so Sharon clearly decided she was just going to pretend everything was fine.
“Come on Josh, help me get things ready. You’ll need to set another place for dinner if you’re staying.”

Once they’d sat down on Miranda’s sofa, Josh started to fill her in on what had happened after she’d left. He looked tired and upset. There were red splotches around his eyes, and Miranda was pretty certain he’d been crying.“Mum basically gave me an ultimatum. Either I don’t see you anymore, or I leave her house. You can probably tell which one I chose.” He ran his fingers through his hair and exhaled heavily.Her heart ached for him. “You don’t have to do this. I don’t want you to destroy your relationship with your mum for me.” She took his hand in hers and began softly tracing the back of it with her finger.“Did you mean what you said?” Miranda looked up to meet his gaze. “Did you mean it

God, she hoped Sharon wanted to talk properly. Maybe there was a way they could work this out. When she heard nothing from the receiver, she wondered if it hadn’t been an intentional call.“Sharon?”Hearing his mums name, Josh came in to listen to the conversation. Miranda put her phone on loudspeaker so he would be able to hear.Finally, she heard her voice.“I just wanted to let you know, I am planning on informing your new employer about your disgusting relationship.”Her voice was slurring a little, and Miranda could tell she’d been drinking. Her eyes flickered up to Josh’s

The whole shop was silent. Natasha was holding her Champagne mid sip staring wide-eyed at Miranda. Her mum looked horrified, and Chloe…well. Miranda didn’t have to wait long to find out how she was feeling.“YOU FUCKING BITCH!” Within a fraction of a second, Chloe was launching herself at Miranda. Clear intent to use her stiletto shaped acrylics to gouge out her older sisters’ eyes. Miranda was unusually quick however, and dodged her sister's attack, the dress she was holding crashing to the ground.The sound of her mum’s voi

Josh waited in the library until Miranda finished work so they could go back together. She partly wished he hadn’t, she wanted to be alone. His easy smile came into view as he walked towards her car. He got in and went to kiss her, but she moved her face a little so he got her cheek. He ignored this, and instead asked her eagerly about her first day.

The next few days for Miranda passed by in a much happier haze. They went to the university together, and came home together. Miranda even let Josh drive a few times so he could start getting used to the traffic.It was a strange feeling, letting him be in control of something so important as her car, but she also kind of liked it too. There was something sexy about the look of concentration on his face, and his strong hand changing gears. He was going to start proper lessons next week, and when he passed, she would definitely be letting him take the controls more often.Miranda was also finding great pleasure in her work.

Miranda tried to open her eyes. She was vaguely aware of a pain in her head. It also didn’t feel like her body was in the right place. But she couldn’t work that out right now. Where was she? Finally opening her eyes, she tried to bring them to focus. All she could make out was scraps of metal and glass. Then it started to come back to her. The lorry. Josh driving. The lorry swerving into Josh’s side…Frantically looking over to her right, she caught sight of him. Her heart broke as she took in the image before her. There were cuts all over his face, likely from the smashed windscreen and driver side window. His right arm was at an odd angle, and she thought that it must be broken. His eyes were shut, and his lips were parted ever so slightly.She tried to call out to him, but it came out as more of a croak. “Josh? Josh wake up! Josh!”&

Miranda felt as if she was in a beautiful dream. She couldn’t conceive how things had turned around so quickly.

Miranda hurried as quickly as she could to the café, scared that if she took too long Sharon would change her mind. She had no idea what Sharon was going to say. There was every chance she would simply berate her further. Maybe she would warn her not to come back and to leave them alone. But Miranda knew she had to try. There could be a chance, however small, Sharon would at least tell her how Josh was.Following the signs on the beams that jutted out from the ceiling, she soon came upon the meeting place. Due to the time of day, it was busy, and she frantically searched over the many tables for Sharon. The smell of food that had been boiling or simmering all day reached her nose. It was not a pleasant one, and it did nothing but increase the feeling of sickness in her stomach.Then a figure got to their feet, her attention caught. It was her. She was at a table right at the back of the dining area.

“I cannot believe you have the audacity to show your face in here,” Sharon spat. She was trembling with rage.Miranda buckled under her gaze filled with pure hatred.Linda began to speak. “Perhaps I should wheel you back now Miranda?”She nodded. She couldn’t bear to be persecuted by Sharon right now. She felt too fragile.“Oh no. Now you’re here I want you to listen to what I have to say.”Miranda asked Linda to wait, and the nurse reluctantly obliged.“Are you aware of the catalogue of injuries my son is currently suffering from?”
