Now in Ollies car on the way to his Julia spoke "I don't mean to be trouble."

"It's not. Honestly, better you're both at mine and safe than being somewhere I don't know and that's going to make me worry." Ollie answered 

"Zosia said you worry too much." She smiled 

"But she wasn't the one left with no explanation just instructions to keep quiet."

Julia laughed a little "yeah sorry about that."

Ollies shook his head "it's okay. You're her sister, she did what she thought would protect you."

"And now you're stuck with a 16 year old girl you've never met before. Are you sure that's not trouble.?"

"Yes, I am sure. Obviously it's not what I imagined but it's what is happening so that is what we are going to deal with. You are welcome to stay as long as you want. Though I must warn you I don't have I spare room, I've kinda been by myself for awhile." Ollie reassured 

"Oh don't worry, I'll be fine wherever." She said

They went the rest of the journey in a comfortable silence until Ollie parked his car and walked to his door with Julia following behind.

He unlocked the door and opened it. He went in and Julia followed.

"I'm going to make a coffee, do you want a drink?" He asked walking to the kitchen

"Yeah, thanks, I'll have a coffee."

"Okay well if you want to make yourself at home on the sofa and I'll bring them through."

Julia went and sat on the sofa looking around Ollies living room. There were many photos she looked at some of Ollie and Zosia some of him and penny, though she didn't know who she was, and a few of Tara and Anya that Julia assumed Zosia put out.

Ollie came through and sat on the sofa with her.

They sat in silence for a while and talked for a while.
