Chapter Seventy Eight

"Mr Barlow?...Miss Evans? My names Brian Sweeney and this is Charlotte Timpson, we're here from Victim Support and we'd like to go through some details if we may?" The chap smiled politely as we welcomed them inside.
"Please come in...sorry we can't offer you a seat..and sorry about the mess!" Gary shook their hands in a firm manly way.
"Please...it's not a problem..unfortunately we see this quite a bit in our kind of work." Charlotte said softly.
The man took over. "We've seen the Police photographs, and we completely understand how devastated you must be....Our job is to support you through this tough time and help you in any way we can..until you feel you no longer need us. One of us is on call night and day as we take turns. We will help you with any financial/ insurance/ building quotes that you are unsure of. It may take weeks ..or months..but we will not close the case until both parties agree that that time has come.
"Now I'm afraid ...the formality of paperwork!" Charlotte grimaced.
We answered all that was required and gathered together the list of loses, working out the approximate total of loses were estimated at £125,000. They admitted this was their biggest cost of loses on a case in about 10 years.
Just then John arrived, I'd never met the man before but he was just as I imagined he'd be.
"Alright Boss?!" Mark shook his hand, followed by Jay then Howard. Gary just sat head in hands on the bottom stair.
"Geesus Gary, I'm so sorry mate?" He patted Gary on his shoulder. "Melissa Dear! Horrid...just Horrid" he shook my hand and pulled me into a hug.
I couldn't help but remember the last time we had spoken, when I told to leave Gary alone when he was poorly.
"Thank you John" I smiled back.
"Don't worry about a thing Gary, I'll sort all the insurance side of it out. He asked the Victim Support people what the total loses were.
"FUCK ME!...sorry excuse my language...right were gonna get ALL of you sorted with CCTV and Security Gates."
"We've sorted Gary's out Boss!" Howard nodded
"Good lad!" John approved. "Right lads..Gary and Melissa are gonna need all your support.
"On it!!" Jay smiled
"Yeah sorted Boss!" Mark agreed.

Bit by bit over the next month or so, things got back to nearly normal, the insurance paid out quickly and little by little things were delivered to replace our loses.
The huge security gates were installed and all working, along with the intercom panel and CCTV. The one thing that they could not replace was Gary's Piano...such an item has just irreplaceable. But I intended to rectify that as soon as I could.
I spent weeks scouring EBay and Antique sites looking for the perfect item...Mid April, I found what I was looking for.
One sunny Saturday morning, the buzzer from the intercom on the gate went. I could see on the screen it was the delivery men.
"I'll buzz you through!" I shouted into the box on the wall.

"Miss Evans?" One delivery man said "Umm... 1 Grand Piano??"
"YES...Thank You So Much! Gary will love it!" I squealed.
It took the men about 2 hours to actually get in situ exactly where the old one was.

Gary walked through the door at 6pm.. He looked exhausted, who knew singing for a living could be so tiring??
His eyes immediately saw the piano..his mouth fell open. A feeling of elated excitement filled up my insides..

"An early wedding present?" I grinned "hope you like it?"
"OH MY FUCKING GOD!" He dropped his bag and leant his laptop bag up against the wall by the front door. "Mel...er...Mel??? What the hell???
"Oh god it's the wrong one isn't it??...you don't like it?... I'm sorry I thought I was..."
Whipping his head round to look me in the eye he just shook his head in bewilderment. "Oh my lord no!!...I love it!"
"You....do?" I winced.
Gary made a beeline straight for me. "Nobody has ever done anything for me like this before....ever!....it's beautiful Baby! Thank you so much!"
Gary lifted me up and wrapped my legs around his waist, returning his hands to support my bottom. Only stopping smiling to kiss my lips tenderly.
"Well....you gonna test it?" I grinned back.
"I err...ummm...yeah!!" He patted my bum playfully, cuing me to unlock him from my leg grip. He gently lowered me to the ground, turned and walked towards the piano, once in reach, he ran his fingers lightly over the polished woodwork, letting out a wolf whistle!
He moved around the front and sat on the long stool I'd also bought to go with it, sitting beside him, there was plenty of room for both of us. Lifting the lid slowly he let out a gasp...
"Oh Mel! Oh God No??!!!!!" He ran his finger over the gold lettering I had printed on the underside of the lid.

A GIFT FROM ME, THE OLD GIRL MKII. TO SHOW HOW MUCH LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU. TO G 'FOREVER LOVE' M xx

He played the first 3 notes to 'Forever Love' and I stood up, walked round behind him and crossed my arms around his neck burying my face into his neck.
"Carry on playing....I wanna hear it"

[ HOW DID ALWAYS SMELL SO GOOD????]

That was the moment I sang his song...to him.
