Now, being covered in fake fur is not my idea of a good time. Mum is having a new wedding theme; a fuzzy theme. She decided to go extreme since she's retiring in two months.

Wait! God, what was I thinking?! It obviously doesn't make sense that, all of a sudden, I'm in Brighton. I'm on holiday from work (photography) so I decided to visit Brighton..  I missed its beautiful sea, the view from my bedroom window, and my bedroom-neighbour, Elliot.
I wonder what Noah's up to on his break. Perhaps he decided to go to visit Bella in California.. She's now eighteen, crossing days off until she can have her own house.
I'm 26, soon-to-be 27,and Noah is 30. His career is still going, and it's better than ever.

"Honey, could you come a little closer? I need to have a good look at the fur." Mum says.
"Yes. Right." I step closer to mum, and sigh as she takes the fur off. It was boiling hot in it!
"So...  How's the baby?" she says, and I feel uncomfortable. I don't know why, but I feel awkward when mum asks that.
"Camilla? She's ok.." I reply, hoping that doesn't sound stupid.
"Camilla? That's a beautiful name, sweetie." Mum is now busy creating the scene for the window.
"Yes, it is," I say like a fool.
"Anyhow, honey, I wanted to ask..  How long are you staying for again?"
"Just one more week." I sigh. It passed by sooo quickly!
"And...? Did you ask Noah?"
I smile. "Yes..  And he agreed! We are moving to Brighton!"
Mum grins. "That is wonderful! Ever since Tom moved out with Melanie, it was kind of lonely..."
"Mum, I'm sorry." I come over to her. Mum had the hardest time since Dad died..







Week later, the drama starts... 😷
