I find Hayley fast asleep, curled up in bed clutching a wet towel. Her hair is wet and she has changed into a pair of black cotton shorts and a loose grey converse t shirt.
She looks exhausted. I pull the bedcovers over her and kiss her forehead. She stirs a bit and opens her eyes slowly. “I fell asleep,” she whispers.
“Yeah you look pretty tired, go back to sleep.”
“Are your friends still here?”
“Yeah, they are downstairs.”
“Then I have to come say hi.”
“You don’t have to, they will understand that you’re tired.”
“I’m already awake and I don’t want to be rude and have them think I’m a snob plus the girls and Sebastian need supper.”

As it should be.Hayley helps Chef set the table and even though I haven’t had the strength or appetite for much recently, even I am tempted by the delicious smells wafting from the table.“Chef you have to eat with us today, you went through so much trouble and it wouldn’t be the same without you.” I hear Hayley tell Hannah.“No Hayley, what are you saying.
