Take a chance on Me

Escape

"Makes sense" Raf says realising her plan.

"Should of told me though, we're friends right?" He asks.

"It's complicated" Cara sighs as they sat at the dining table.

Raf just smiles as sits watching her. "Not long until it's all ready now" he smiles.

Cara twiddled her thumbs for a moment. Raf. Aught sight of the burn forming on her hand.

"What did you do?" Raf asks and Cara then hides her hand.

"Oh it's nothing. Just a bit clumsy earlier and caught it on a pan" she said

"Let me put a dressing on it," he says as he heads into the kitchen and gets the first aid kit.

"There's really no need" Cara sighs slightly embarrassed.

He comes back with the kit and looks through it before starting to clean up the burn.

Cara watches raf as he cleans up her hand.

She finches as he catches it "sorry" he smiles sympathetically.

They're eyes lock momentarily. But they are disturbed by the baby monitor.

"That's my queue" Cara smiles and walks off.

Cara headed upstairs and began to talk to pippa to soothe her.

Cara sits on the bed and strokes Pippa's head, she starts to talk to Pippa unaware Raf is listening on the baby monitor. "How nice is Raf, huh? So much nicer than your daddy. I wish he was your daddy" Cara sighs as she starts to change Pippa's nappy.

She sorts pippa out and settles her again she headsback down to the kitchen where Raf was just finishing plating up dinner.

"Smells nice" she smiles as she takes a seat at the table.

Raf smiles as he puts the plates infronf of them both. "Tell me about your husband?" He asks.

"Not a lot to say, he's an idiot" she replies.

"You deserve so much better" he smiles.

"Yeah. Well my track record with men isn't that good" she explains as she starts to eat.

"Not all guys are like him you know" raf replies

"It feels like it. Honestly I give up with men, just going to focus on myself and Pippa" Cara smiles.

"Sounds like a plan" Raf agrees.

"Think I'll wait until Pippa is six before I go for another relationship" Cara smiles and Raf just nods as they eat.

"Why six?" Raf asks confused by the age.

"Just so I can focus on her development stages" she replies.

Raf thinks about what he heard in the baby monitor and decides to mention it to cara. " You know when you spoke to pippa before. I heard what you said" he giggled as he picks up the baby monitor

Cara's mouth falls open, "oh... that...I mean it wasn't how it sounds" she stutters.

"Don't worry. It sounds like you've had a eventful day." Raf says reassuringly.

"Erm... yeah" she mutters and tries not to make eye contact.

"I'm going to head up to bed" she adds as she finishes dinner and puts the plates in the sink.

He smiles and watches her walk off.
