Elizabeth's pov

That night I couldn't sleep, I decided to go for a walk in the village, I've always liked the night time. I walked out of the front door carefully making sure I didn't wake Debbie or the kids. The village was surprisingly quite at night and I liked it. I sat on a bench outside of the pub, I didn't expect to see anyone but a bloke was walking through the village.

"What are you doing all alone out here?" He asked as he approached me, the darkness gave him a mysterious look about him

"Sitting, what else would I be doing Scooper-Diveing" I grinned sarcastically.

"Do you have a name?" He then asked not sounding too amused with my response.

"I do but I don't usually go around telling random strangers my name. For all I know you could be a mass murder wanting to lure me away to kill me later on" I smirked

"How about I tell you my name first and then you tell me yours" the bloke suggested sitting down next to me.

"Fine" I grumbled

"I'm Joesph; Joe Tate now it's your turn" the bloke who I now knew as Joe told me

"I'm Elizabeth Bails. Beth' for short" I stick my hand out to shake Joe's hand.

"So what's a young lady like you doing all alone sat outside the pub at 1am at night?" Joe asks

"Could Ask you the same question" I grinned.

"Your a tricky one aren't you" joe chuckles.

"Could say that" I grinned as I looked away.

"So are you going to answer my question.?" Joe asked curiously.

"I've always liked the dark. The night has always been something I've found peaceful. Is that the answer you expected!" I asked Joe who turned to me.

"You know what i find the dark peaceful." Joe grinned, it looked like a smug grin in the dim light.

"So anyway I've never seen you around here before. Are you staying in the B&B?" Joe asked and I shook my head.

"I only came to the village yesterday. Met my mum and her family. And nope, I'm staying round my half sisters Debbie's" I explained, I watch Joe's expression change.

"So your a Dingle?" He asked.

"Well I guess you could say that I'm half a Dingle, mums Charity and my dad well he's not Important" I shrugged.

I watched the girl, Elizabeth. She had that sarcastic tone in her voice. She was funny but when she mentioned she was Debbie's half sister I knew it wouldn't work out, she was a Dingle. I would want to get to know her but with the Dingles as her family they could poison her against me.

"Say you'll meet me tomorrow. I'd like to get to know you" I asked Elizabeth who I saw smile.

"I'd like that but it'll have to be tomorrow afternoon. I'm taking Sarah to my studio. I'll text you!" Elizabeth handed me her phone for to put my number into.

"See you then" I smiled before I got up and walked off, Elizabeth was different; the first person I had ever properly liked but would it work out? I could only hope.
