"Did he really drunkenly climb through your window! He already has one dodgy knee he doesn't need another one!" Elio exclaims as he places the vibrant purple dye on his hair in my bathroom whilst I sit on the toilet seat eating a family sized bag of milky buttons.

"I know, he was in such a terrible state it was just heartbreaking," I explain quietly to ensure that Oilibhia doesn't overhear us talking.

Niall left early this morning, hungover and extremely apologetic but his words last night about using this work trip as a holiday keep replaying in my head.

"I don't know what to do," I sigh as I pass Elio the bag of chocolates and he immediately raises an eyebrow at me.

"You are going on that trip, Lil," Elio states calmly but firmly as he pops a milky button into his mouth and continues to lather on his hair dye.

"It's going to be so weird though! And I'm worried that we will patch things up for the two weeks we are away and then when we come home and get back into our routines, everything will crumble again and we will be back to square one!" I explain with a pout and Elio's expression softens as he sees the clear concern in my face.

"Lilli, when was the last time you took a break from everything?"

I just shrug, avoiding his strong eye contact as I know that Elio will convince me to go on this trip with Niall.

"It was your maternity leave and let me tell you that that was NOT a break or a holiday! Oilibhia is an angel now but Jesus did that child like to cry," Elio exclaims making me giggle at the fond memories of Elio desperately trying to get Oilibhia to stop crying by rocking her in his arms and playing Britney Spear's 'Womanizer' over and over again.

"It's a work trip though, not a holiday and the very thought of sitting in a conference room talking about golf promotion makes me want to projectile vomit all over this bathroom," I huff dramatically as Elio just playfully rolls his eyes, completely accustomed to my outbursts by now.

"Please don't projectile vomit all over this bathroom," Elio teases, gaining a playful kick on the ass from me as he hysterically laughs and continues to lather the purple dye on his hair.

"Can you come with me? Please!" I try, giving him puppy dogs eyes as I plead but he continues to laugh and shakes his head.

"I can't! My boss, Lillianna Horan, I don't know if you know her?"

I roll my eyes playfully as he continues with a smirk.

"Well anyway that bitch Lilli scheduled me in to do the makeup for a very important new movie commencing at LilliannaStudios and so I'm afraid that I have a fully booked schedule," Elio explains teasingly until I finally sigh and move from the toilet to the sink, handing him the bag of chocolates again.

"Very funny," I say sarcastically but I can't deny that he has managed to make me smile.

Before he can continue teasing me, Oilibhia bursts into the bathroom carrying a handful of Barbie dolls that she immediately throws at Elio.
