Private to Adrian

What's wrong?

Private to Katie

Family dramas that I really cannot share with you, even if I really wanted to. I'm sorry.

The gist of it is that Ella's had disturbing news, and Graham isn't helping. Sort of.

I'm so sorry.

I don't suppose she'd like company? I have chocolate, and tea, and an endless supply of non-threatening things to say. Or perhaps you'd rather I just shut up and left you to your family.

I'm sure she'll enjoy your company. Anything to get her mind off the news. I doubt she'll want to talk about it, so don't go down that route.

You're very kind.

I'm not going to ask. If you want to tell me you will. ... But why does Ella look so...?

As if Urquhart would ever pay attention to anything that would be rendering the public a service.

[newt_adrian]

He managed with assisting Lucy Montgomery. Unfortunately, he was idiotic enough to use that word, but that seems to be his predicament.

[newt_melinda]

Idiocy is incurable, sadly.

[newt_adrian]

Bully for Urquhart?

[newt_karen]

Is everyone OK? Ella did seem rather quiet when I saw her last...and how are you?

[newt_patricia]

Why? What's he done?
