Frank drank the rest of coffee then threw the empty plastic cup away, got up and began walking home.

Narelles Flat-The City Narelle put the phone down and looked at it.

Narelle sighed then opened her address book. She took a piece of paper and pen and wrote down Franks number and put it in her bag that was nearby then she got up to go and get ready for new new job. Manhattan-New York Emotional Background Music Roo stood outside the hotel room door and exhaled…then she knocked. A few seconds later, the door opened and Brett stood there with a smile on his face “Roo…come in” Brett said as Roo followed him into the room and the door closed behind her. His room is nice, Roo thought to herself, it reminded her of the one that Donavan had, it had a bed, a separate seating area and a dining table. “I took the liberty of ordering some brunch, if you are hungry” Brett said “No, I am fine, I had a big breakfast but I will have some coffee” Brett said “Help yourself” Brett said as he sat down in front of a plate of food. Roo sat down opposite him and looked down at her cup “You look great...I must admit, I was surprised that you called and wanted to see me” Brett said as he took a bit out of his sandwich “I surprised myself…but I feel like there is some unfinished business between us” Roo said “Like what?” Brett said “I don’t know…we didn’t really talk about how we felt after we gave Martha up for adoption…I saw a photo of you and Bobby in Summer Bay and that kind of brought that all back” Roo said as Brett smiled “I thought about getting in touch with her adoptive parents and trying to see her…since I cant have any more children but I don’t think that would’ve been fair to them or her because we made the decision to give her up” Brett said “Do you think about her?” Roo sid “Yes, all the time” Brett said “Frank wants to have children but I am not ready, I guess its because I feel guilty that I get to raise my children with Frank while Martha is being raised by someone else” Roo said “Besides, things are going really well for me here, I got a great job at a PR agency, I want to make a name for myself first before I think of having children” Roo continued “Congratulations” Brett said “Thanks, I really love living here, sometimes, I feel like it’s a dream…so what brings you here?” Roo said “I had to come and close out an important client, tonight is the celebration of the deal then I head back to Australia Sunday night” Brett said “Does Frank know about the party?’ Roo said “I should think so, all of the Macklin employees should be there” Brett said “We have no other plans, I will convince him to go, where will it be?” Roo said “Here, in the banquet hall” Brett said “Ok….So..that photo of you and Bobby” Roo said “What about it?” Brett said then drank some tea “I didn’t know that you two kept in touch” Roo said “We didn’t until I saw Frank in Australia. I asked about her and he mentioned that she was a business owner…she is a phenomenal cook too, she is also the catering director for the sands resort” Brett said sounding proud “You sound like the proud husband” Roo said feeling a bit jealous “Bobby is a great girl, if she gave me a chance, she is everything I want” Brett said “But she isn’t giving you a chance? Roo said “Shes finding her way, she was still very heartbroken after Frank and some other guy she dated” Brett said “So you are waiting?” Roo said “Kind of…anyway, whats with all the questions about Bobby?” Brett said “Nothing, I just never thought she was your type” Roo said “What do you mean?” Brett said “Bobby has never really looked good or taken care of herself, shes not really the kind of girl I expect to see mixing with the elite crowd, I never expected her to get any further than working in a dead end job married to some guy with a dead end job” Roo said “She was married to the same man you are married to” Brett said with a smile as Roo looked annoyed “Anyway it was just a surprise to see the two of you in a photo that managed to get all the way over here from Australia” Roo said “Come on…you knew how I felt about her…that is why when you asked if we should get back together I said it wasn’t a good idea” Brett said Roo looked surprised “Maybe things would’ve been different if you didn’t have feelings for her, maybe we would still have Martha” Roo said “Maybe but then you might have eventually left me for Frank” Brett said “Speaking of Frank, what did he say about you coming here?” Brett continued “He was against it at first but then I said I felt I had some things to settle, so he said I should settle them with you, alone..you know I have always been able to convince Frank to do what I want” Roo said with a smile “Well, that is big of him, he has nothing to be jealous of” Brett said with a smile “I always knew the two of you would get back together, I knew how you felt about him” Brett continued “Yeah…we have been through a lot together that’s why being here is a great start, away from all the drama of the past” Roo said “Well, I am happy for you” Brett said “Are you sure you don’t want anything to eat?” Brett said “No I am fine” Roo looked at her watch “I better get going” Roo continued “Well, thanks for coming and I hope things are clearer for you” Brett said as he got up “Yes, they are…I am glad that after everything, we are still able to be civil” Roo said as she got up “So, I hope to see you and Frank at the party tonight” Brett said “Yeah, you will” Roo said then there was an awkward silence then Brett reached out and hugged Roo, she felt like crying because all the old memories came flooding back but she stopped herself “Ill see you tonight” Roo said with a smile then she walked towards the door and let herself out Brett watched the door close and sighed…then smiled.

Summer's Bay Posted July 18, 2018 Author Report Posted July 18, 2018 Chapter 119 Beach-Summer Bay Steve sighed as he walked on the beach. Pippa was right, the last few days he was feeling down. He didn’t expect Sandra to come up and he definitely wasn’t expecting to see Rebecca. He really liked Rebecca, she was everything he dreamed about so why did he feel this way about Sandra. As Steve walked, he could hear some laughing in the distance, as he got closer, he could see Alf, Ailsa Sandra and Duncan playing on the beach. He didn’t want to see Sandra so he turned around and began walking in the other direction then he stopped walking “Why am I running away?” Steve said then turned around and began walking towards them, at that point, he noticed a familiar person in the distance, he noticed Craig walking towards Sandra then he sighed and turned around and walked away Clergy House- New Castle Emotional background music Reverend Jones made the sign of the cross then got up from the position of prayer on the floor and sat on the bed as he processed what happened earlier with Celia. He didn’t mean to hurt her feelings but he couldn’t live a lie. Like Celia, he had prayed for the right time to find love again and meeting Roberta who lead him to Philippa was not a coincidence…this was the time. Reverend Dawson offered him the opportunity to go to Summer Bay to cover their clergy but he couldn’t accept because he felt it was too soon. He knew that Phillippa is still mourning but there was a reason why things have happened this way. He had to tell Phillppa how he felt but they were getting to know each other and he didn’t want to ruin that. He was going to visit her and her family in a few weeks.

Christopher ran towards her and raised his arms for her to pick him up. Bobby bent down and gave him a hug and squeezed him as he laughed. Steven walked towards the stairs “Whats wrong with him?” Pippa said to Bobby “No idea, he was quiet on the way home “Hey did some guy check in? he came over to the diner, he was looking for here but got lost’ Bobby said “Yes, Grant, he is in van 2” Pippa said “You put him in van 2?” Bobby said quickly..that was her and Franks van “Yes, that was the only van that was ready…” Pippa said then she went into the kitchen to finish her cooking “Phone ringing” ‘Ill get it” Bobby said “I get it” Christopher said as he followed Bobby to the phone “Summer Bay Caravan park” Bobby said “Roberta, its Reverend Jones’ Reverend Jones said “Hi Reverend Jones, how are you? Bobby said excited “I am doing well Roberta, how are you?” Reverend Jones said “I have so much to tell you” Bobby said and sighed “A sigh, that isn’t always a good sign” Reverend Jones teased as Bobby smiled and for the next few minutes she told him about her news . Pippa stood in the kitchen and watched as Bobby wiped tears from her eyes and spoke to Alex. Pippa smiled.

Bobby touched the side of the van then rested her head on the side of the van as tears fell to her cheeks and exhaled. Bobby exhaled again then wiped her face and made her way back to the house….unbeknownst to her, Floss was watching her through a small gap in her curtain and she sighed. Manhattan-New York Frank opened his eyes, he wasn’t sure how long he was asleep for but when he opened his eyes, he still had the pen in his hand. He rubbed his eye then folded the letter and put it in the side of his bag and got up. He turned around and looked at Roo. He really wanted to go home to Summer Bay but he made a decision to leave, to come here, to start a new life with Roo.

Last night she had a really sleep and today she had a weird feeling that this week was going to be the beginning of something new. Pippa put the kettle on and walked towards the dining table to sit down, as she walked, from the corner of her eye she saw something on the floor, it was two envelopes she walked over to the door, bent down an picked them up. One was addressed to her, the other was addressed to Bobby. Pippa walked over to the table and sat down. She put Bobbys envelope on the table and opened hers which contained a letter and some money ‘Dear Pippa I am sorry that I am saying goodbye this way but I knew I wouldn’t be able to say good bye to you and the kids without breaking down.

Floss had become like her surrogate mother, she really trusted her and leaned on her when Tom died and now she was gone too, she was alone again, Pippa sighed then got up quickly to turn the kettle off before it made noise.

Bobby was going to be working most of the day at the Sands Resort, she liked to look nice when she worked there, in the back of her mind, she was hoping what Alf said was true, she would one day meet someone but now that she is pregnant, she had no hope for that. “Knock on the door” Background music-Bobby and Franks theme “Come in” Bobby said then the door opened and Pippa came in “I heard you being sick so I knew you were awake” Pippa said as she walked into the room “Wasn’t me, this morning, I feel normal” Bobby said with a smile as Pippa looked at her confused “Floss and Nev have gone” Pippa said “Gone where?” Bobby said confused “They want to have one more run in the circus and left last night, they didn’t want a fuss’ Pippa said “Oh no…we didn’t even get to say goodbye…well, I guess they are doing what makes them happy” Bobby said “Floss left this letter for you” Pippa said as she handed Bobby the letter “Thanks” Bobby said “Are you working today?” Pippa said “Yeah, Ill be at the Sands resort for most of the day” Bobby said as she opened the envelope. “Have I told you lately that I am really proud of you?” Pippa said “Yes, but its nice to keep hearing it” Bobby said and smiled “Alex will be joining us this weekend” Pippa said “Great, I cant wait to see him” Bobby said as Pippa smiled and left the room “Dear Bobby If you are reading this its because Nev and I are going to have one final run in the circus and will be away for a little while. I am sorry I didn’t get a chance to say goodbye but I hope you forgive me. I know I said this to you but I wanted to say it again, please make decisions with your heart.
