Gorgeous three chapters Miranda.
It's full of assumptions on Leah's behalf, gallantry on Roman's behalf, family fun on Hugh & Rachel's behalf, longing looks on Ceri's behalf and torture in the form of twenty questions on the Poulos family's behalf.
I like being a fly on the wall in your chapters to get the full picture - just like being on-set. The viewer gets to see the true friendships forming and the flow of it all unfold right before our very eyes.
You've portrayed Leah very well and I'm glad that she fobbed Ceri off in one of the earlier chapters due to her busy schedule - makes it sound more realistic.
I'm totally hooked on this fic and I don't dare go fishing with Alf until after I've read your posted chapter(s).
