It had been a long night at work. All he had thought about since the start of duty was to be back at home in her arms again. There were fights, lies, theft and enough alcohol in the air to get drunk off of. But thus it was a typical day on patrol. Many months had passed since they had first met in the quiet blues bar.

Tessa had managed to salvage enough of the holy Sisters of the Sacred Secret's order to ascertain their address and write them a discrete letter asking that they reorder, which they did.

Ken Barlow walked home from work. He was tired, felt unrewarded for his labours and to crown it all he suspected Deirdre was having an affair with Mike Baldwin again.
