Elle stepped into her kitchen, reading through her case notes, a new family a new problem, she thought darkly, scanning the first page for anything that particulary stood out and highlighted the words father has previous conviction for manslaughter, fabulous she muttered, this was going to look great on her resume, trying to get a violent father back with his child, this was the problem with taking a sick day, you came back and all of the decent cases were gone.

She wandered over to her fridge, her black coffee waiting on the side and pulled open her black american style huge fridge, she grabbed the milk, not noticing the little note fall out and she turned back to her coffee, pouring in some of the semi skimmed milk, she took a sip of the scalding hot coffee and she restrained the urge to scream and wake up Daniel upstairs, she closed the fridge and took another sip, smoothing down her suit and picking up her briefcase she walked out of the kitchen, through the hall and out of the house to her Landrover, she chucked the briefcase in the back of the car and pulled open the drivers door, jumping in, shutting the door and starting the car. When the engine was purring away she pulled off the handbrake and began to drive down her drive to her office.

Later that day she arrived back at her picket fenced house and jumped out of the car, pulled out her keys and walked up the path, her Loubitanns tapping off the stone gravel she put the key in the lock and stepped in the house, she walked up to her bedroom and changed from her office clothes to some jeans and a slouchy jumper, Daniel was still out so she decided to make him some dinner for when he came home, she walked down the stairs, her bare feet making a flup noise with each step until she came to the kitchen, she flipped on the light which was where she saw the note, she walked over to the note, picked it up, unfolded it and read it, watching it change into words

Elle scratched her head as a sudden memory popped into her head, The time had come for the fulfillment to begin she murmered quietly, she pulled open her laptop, booking a ticket, but not for England ho-no, this was for Barbados, where she could get some space from David and his possesivnes, she walked up to her room, packed her bag and walked out of the house, throwing her case in the back of the car and driving to the airport, back to her destiny, but this couldn't take too long, but she had to find herself, she only had a week ticket, and if it took any longer than that, well screw him, she had her life, her girls, her career career and she wasn't just going to drop it, this was a holiday from work, and him, nothing more
