Laila woke Hail was still sleeping, she pulled herself up out of bed tiptoeing out of the room into the bathroom. She looked into the mirror tears rolled down her face what the hell was she doing? She knew that she couldn’t fall for him again she knew she could never love him again after all he’d done, after all he’d put her through.

‘Sorry I didn’t mean to I thought everyone was sleeping.’ Ging said sleepily.

Laila wiped her tears dry. ‘That’s okay.’

‘You alright babe?’

‘Fine.’

‘Look at me.’

She turned her eyes puffed.

‘No need for tears Laila we’re all in this together.’

Ging placed his thumbs under her eyes wiping the remaining tears away.

He placed his hands on her face. ‘Look things aint that bad. We all got what we wanted, and if this movie takes off it’ll be even better.’ He smiled.

She slipped a smile.

‘Was that a smile I saw?’

She tried not to smile, but it slipped through.
