We have finally finished the case, damn this week was manic, I cant even start to explain.
We are now all at Barbettes bar listing to Babette sing.
"Do you really have to go Lei? I mean you want to go back to that cold, cold place for your holiday? Why not stay here?! Its nice and warm and beautiful and I'm here too of course!" My bestfriend, Marlon turns to me. "Obviously I love this place, but yknow I miss my family and Margo from the station, yknow it will be good to see them again. Your making it sound like I'm leaving forever." he sighs "Ah but it will feel like forever! Wont you miss me?!" he smiles, I grab his face "Of course ill miss you Marlon, your my bestfriend.... but..." his smile drops "BUT?! There shouldn't be a but!" I grin like mad "BUT! I will miss Catherine more!" and as on cue Catherine makes her way over "Good girl! I will miss you very much too!" She gives me a kiss on the check and walks away to sit by Darleen who is sat next to Marlon. "Welp! I better be going! Don't worry Marlon, You can always call me!" He hugged me tight "Oh Leia I'm going to miss you so so so much!" He wiped away a fake tear dramatically "Drama Queen" I muttered under my breath "What you say Lei?!" My eyes widened "Nothing!", Darlene then stops me before I can walk over to Neville "Now I know you weren't going to leave without giving me a hug." I smile as she opens her arms "Of course not Darleen! I'll miss you!" "I'll miss you too sweetie, now go before you are late." She gives me a sweet smile as I walk past. I walk up to where Naomi and Neville are sat, i engulf Naomi into a hug. "See you next month lady boss." She laughs "You too Sargent Glitter." Neville just looks at us confused "What? It's a girl thing, sir." He just chuckles and smiles, i Pat him on the shoulder. "Come on 'en! Let's get going!" He looks confused yet again "Nev? really? You said you would give me a lift to the airport!" He thinks for a moment "Oh yes! Oh sorry Leia, I - uh completely forget!" I shake my head at him "Only you. Let's go!" He grabs his stuff "Goodbye everyone! I've got to goooooo!" I start singing, Marlon shouts "Not you too!" Pointing at Darleen who sang all day. "Haha! Keep singing Darleen!" I point to her with a grin as she winks "Oh Catherine! Tell Cammi I'm so happy for her and for her to send me updates! Good luck as a grandma!" She then gives me this smile, the signature happy Catherine wise all knowing smile. Me and Neville then leave the bar and drive up to the airport.
"Well! I guess I will see you sometime soon then!?" He smiles "Hopefully, This holiday shouldn't be that long, just visiting home yknow, I've been gone a good few years! I've not been back since....." gosh since when?! Can I even remember "I Think it was just before DI Poole passed! god bless his grumpy soul." He gives me another smile as my boarding gets announced "Goodbye Leia, Ill miss you." He hugs me "Ill miss you too Neville, Remind Marlon to Facetime me soon!" he nods. Off to my plane I go. Shipton abbot, here I come!
