Diamonds by Brian Ritchie

Sunday 30th August.

  I picked Debbie, Catherine and Tony up and drove them to mass then Debbie and I went for romantic walks in as many parks as we could find until time caught up with us again.

  “Doesn’t time fly when you’re having fun” Debbie sighed as we kissed goodnight.

  “It sure does princess.” I sighed before returning to normality, Edinburgh, a very contented sleep, and a very pleasant end to a very enjoyable week.

  I prayed that all my days would be as magical as this weekend had been and I prayed that Debbie would remain at my side forever.

  “I cannot believe you have managed to get away with it again.” Emily smiled.

  “But, now Rachel will find out you have spent a night with Melanie.

  Now Melanie will also find out you have spent TWO nights with Rachel.

  And the world will find out Lynda murdered somebody.”

  Emily was worried that everyone will find out everything.

  “No need to worry, Emily,” I smiled, “We are almost at the end of the story.

  It’ll all work out alright in the end.”
