Good Chapter.

Liam's a bit of a show off isnt he? Singing to Sally on their first date. Oh well it's a sure way to make the date memorable.

Great chapter

Can't blame Roo and Sally's reactions at the end when they learnt about who Leah's mystery man is...

Update soon xx

ADORED that soooooooooo much, especially …..

Sally glared at him.“If you think I’m going to discuss my love life with my brother and my…Mr. Stewart, then you’re going to have a long wait.”

Miles didn’t seem fazed by the announcement.“So you are saying you’ve got a love life?”

“It’s a figure of speech.”

“Look, I’m not asking for details, love,”Alf replied,“In fact, I don’t even want details.I just want to make sure that everything went all right for you last night.I mean, you did go on a date with Liam Murphy.”

“And that’s like throwing myself to the lions?”

“To a certain point, yes.”

“Well, if it makes you feel better, Liam was the perfect gentleman.”

Alf didn’t look entirely convinced.“Just how perfect are we talking?”

“Important question,”Miles interjected,“Was he wearing aftershave?”He saw Alf’s puzzled look and shrugged.“These things matter.”

“Okay.”Sally grabbed her jacket.“I’m going to have my breakfast at the Diner.Where I can have a girlie chat with actual girls.”She stalked out.

Miles leaned in closer to Alf and spoke in a conspiratorial tone.“He was wearing aftershave.”

.“Dexter, wait.”Making a sudden decision, she walked over to him and kissed him, long and hard, making sure no-one could mistake it for a platonic gesture.“See you tonight.”

Dexter nodded, smiled and left.Leah turned to face Sally and Roo, who were gazing at her in shock. “What was that?”Roo demanded.

Leah gestured after Dexter.“Mystery man.”

“Dexter?”Roo asked, sounding horrified.

“Well, it can’t be that great a surprise, we do have a child together.”

“He’s a bit young,”Sally observed cautiously.

“I’ll say,”Roo agreed,“What’s Sid going to say when he finds out?You’re old enough to be his…”

“To be his what?”Leah demanded,“I’m thirty-seven, he’s twenty-two.What’s the big deal?”Sally and Roo didn’t answer, but their expressions didn’t look that supportive.“Well, I’m sorry you find my love life so disgusting,”she snapped,“I thought I could count on my friends.Obviously not.”She stormed out of the kitchen.

Well Sally seems to have fallen head over heels for Liam.

Nice part with Leah and Dexter there, exposing their secret love affair to Roo and Sally.

Hopefully after the shock wears off they will be alright with it. I say Leah and Dexter should just go with it and see what happens.

Good Chapter.

Great chapter.

Liked the father/son chat between Sid and Dexter. I liked their relationship on the show

Update soon xx

REALLY enjoyed that, most especially …..

.“Is April in?”

Xavier shook his head.“Nah, she’s out campaigning.”

Dexter raised an eyebrow.“She’s really serious about running for council?”

“I think she’s just looking forward to the idea of bossing people about.”Xavier turned his attention back to Jenny.“Which is fine with us because we get to have fun on our own, don’t we?”

Dexter wondered if he’d looked that ridiculous when he’d had his children.He suspected he had. “Sorry to take up your quality time but friend in crisis looking for a man-to-man chat here.”

“I know Roo and I might have overreacted a bit but…you’ve got to admit, there is a bit of an age gap.But that’s all I’m going to say, I get that you’re both adults and if this is what you both want, I’m happy for you.”

Leah smiled slightly.“Thanks, Sal.So what have I missed with you and Liam?”

“Not much.We went out again the other night.Enjoyed each other’s company again, had a few more nice kisses.”Sally took a deep breath.“You and Dexter.Is it serious?”

“Does it have to be?”

“No, no.Just wondering.”

“Sal, all my adult life I’ve either been in a serious relationship or I’ve been single:Vinnie, Jesse, Dan, Elijah, even Miles.Is it wrong for me just to want to enjoy myself for once?”

Sally shook her head.“I felt the same way once.But, I think things can only stay ‘just fun’ for a very short time.I mean, you can mess around with someone, have some laughs, have great sex…”

“It isn’t just about sex,”Leah rebutted,“I mean, that’s great too but he’s got a kind heart, he’s a good father, he gets on well with VJ.I wouldn’t do this if it was just physical.”

Dexter winced slightly, as much at the description as anything else.“Look, Dad, I realise you’ve got an obligation to give me the concerned lectures but…”

“Dex,”Sid interrupted,“I think you know that my main concern is that you’re happy.Even if that means you being in a scenario that I don’t necessarily think is best for you.So if being with Leah makes you happy, that’s good enough for me.”

Dexter smiled.“You really are cute and cuddly deep down, aren’t you?”
