 Florence did three things. 1. She gave Nick the death stare. 2. She linked Dan’s hand and thirdly she bit her lip so she couldn’t rant at Gwen. “Who isn’t?” Was all she said.

Gwen smirked and carried on, “The conference room is ready, this way.” She walked swiftly in front of them.

Florence’s grip tightened. Dan turned to her and whispered in her ear. “She’s pretty.” He jested. She desperately wanted to punch him and kiss him at the same time.

“Nicholas is a better kisser.” Florence patted his hair and Dan, clearly annoyed, restyled it quickly.

Entering into the conference room, Dan looked down the corridor. He saw a familiar face and waved. Nick slammed the door behind Florence and Gwen and stood talking to Dan. “Florence mustn’t know.” He whispered violently in his ear.

“She deserves to know.” Dan argued.

“Yes she does but imagine what that’d do to her emotionally.”

“Don’t be afraid of her.” He pointed at Mara who was staring over at them.

Nick walked over to Mara. “What are you doing here?”

“The agency wasn’t very convinced so I had to come. There are 4 underground floors; I think I can avoid my own daughter.” Mara reasoned.

Florence was wondering why Dan and Nick hadn’t come in.

“So how do you know Nick?” Gwen made polite conversation.

“We used to work together.”

“Oh cool, Bastille are an awesome band, it must be cool to know them.”

“Trust me, you wish you didn’t after knowing them as long as I have.” Florence joked. “I’m going to check what’s taking them so long.” She continued opening the door.

Dan and Nick looked at her with wide eyes, Florence noticed the woman.

“Err…I was wondering why you ditched me with blondie.” She said quietly.

All three of them just stared at her. “Okay, is something wrong?”

“No Mrs Smith, I was just assessing the situation. You may have them back.” Mara smiled and walked off. Florence walked back into the room.

“She didn’t recognize her.” Nick sighed with a breath of relief.
