Calla read Melanie’s note, that was nice of her. Calla let out a little smile and wiped another tear away. She then thought about Mel meeting with Ben, who she knew was the head of the Accidents and Catastrophes department but never met. She hoped the meeting went well.

When Calla heard Dora speak it startled her, she leapt in her seat and let out a small gasp. Embarrassed she put her hand to her forehead as she turned to face Dora. Taking a deep breath, lowering her hand and relaxing her shoulders slightly she answered Dora, “I’m ok. It was most certainly a long night. And then my brother and mum had a bit of a fight this morning, which just concreted my thoughts of getting my own place….” Calla realized she was just rambling on. Turning pink she continued, “err sorry! I’m a little frazzled I suppose. I’ll be ok, thanks for asking.” It made Calla feel nice having someone actually ask how she was. “I see you’re hair isn’t red any more,” she paused should she have even brought this up? Looking back up at Dora sheepishly she continued,“How are you doing?”
