WALKING INTO THE QUINN HOUSEHOLD, Fallon was greeted with a cup of tea in her face from Mary Quinn, who seemed amused by something but the girl didn't ask what.

"Thanks, Mary." She thanked her as sipped the tea. 

Mrs Quinn scanned over the girls face and gave her a soft smile, "It's no problem, love."

Fallon walked on over to Erin and Orla and took the empty spot that Sarah had left besides her daughter. Just as she sat down, the Quinn's doorbell rang and with a yell from Mary, Michelle, James and Cathy entered.

"All right?" Michelle excitedly entered the kitchen.

Mary widened her eyes. "Jesus. Really?"

"He was unbearable towards the end, it was always 'Oh, Cathy, why did you stay out all night?' Or, 'who was that man you were having dinner with, Cathy' He was very insecure."

"Wonder why." Mary sarcastically breathed out, not feeling so sorry for her anymore.

"James' father was the same. I just seem to attract the possessive, jealous types. I don't know what it is." Cathy told them and James' smile dropped from his face at his mothers words.

"They eyebrows."
