            "I want new locks on the doors and these people to stay out." I told him as I handed him the list.

"Very well." He replied as looked it over. "Does your husband know about this?"

"Yeah he does." Nic spoke for me. "She told him about it before she left London."

"Right. Miss-"

"Anderson."

"Right. Anderson." He agreed. "The papers were signed in London, is that correct?"

"Yeah." I replied. "They've not been finalized but as far as Liam's concerned, I own the place. And I want new locks and them people-"

"I understand." He nodded slightly.

"My brother's stayin' with her." Nic spoke again. "He stayed with her before and ya know full well what happened the last time he did but...we've got work to get done and don't need any bull shit because your security team ain't doin' their fuckin' job."

"Trust me, I understand."

"She owns this place and she don't deserve the trouble-"

"We'll have the maintenance staff up to change the locks within the hour." The building manager cut him off. "And every person who comes in asking to visit you will be made to show their IDs."

"Thank you." I said to him.

"I don't see why you guys can't just stay with me and Pia." Nic said after we'd gone outside where his taxi was waiting. "It's not like we don't have the room."

"Will you please stop worryin' about us?" Matt sighed. "We'll be fine! Seriously. We-"

"I don't like lyin' to Mum-"

"Bull shit!"

"Oi-"

"C'mon guys! Don't start!" I yelled as I put my hand up to keep Nic away. "Your taxi's here. Don't-"

"You two aren't to be leavin' that flat unless you're together. D'ya hear me?" He said. "Mum thinks you're stayin' with us and when she calls to check on ya, you better fuckin' answer her!"

"I always do!" Matt shot back. "Jesus, Nic! Will you please just-"

"We'll be at the studio by ten tomorrow. Don't be late."

"We won't." I assured him.

He nodded quietly then went to get in the taxi.

"Whoa!" Matt exclaimed after we opened the door to the flat and looked inside.

I was too shocked to say anything as I gazed around.

The flat was filled with flowers. All sorts and all colors but roses seemed to dominate. The counters and tables were covered with vases all with cards sticking out of them in front of their flowers.

I grabbed the card off the closest vase to me and read what it said.

Blue,

Summat pretty for yer to look at when your own reflection gets too boring.
