EPISODE 41 OF SUBURBAN WAYS
Joyce makes a decision about Sea Crest Hotel which upsets Margaret.
SCENE: THE INN
“Hug mama darling” Carly Palmer looked at her boyfriend and she walked over hugging her mother and then her father. “Mom what are you doing here?”
“Well Josie and Arthur called us because they knew that your granddads nephew would not be staying” she was stroking her hair. “So it was best for us to come at the last minute and look here we are,” she said with delight.
“So that means you guys have less time at the bar to do your own things,” their father replied. Suzanne turned to Jeremy, Carly’s boyfriend. “So who is this?” She smiled. “Mom, dad this is Jeremy,” she said. “My boyfriend” Jack smiled and shook his hand. “Good to meet you” said Jeremy. “I’ll speak to you later” he kissed Carly and walked out of the pub.
“There you go” Suzanne took Carly’s arm. “Now you need to tell me everything that has been going on here as we got all the time in the world”
“Everything okay with you son?”
“Yeah” said Steve still shell shocked.
“Jolly good” said Jack.
SCENE: SEA CREST HOTEL
Joyce walked into the hotel Amanda Jones was on the front desk. She was serving a customer. Joyce smiled at Amanda. “Hello Mrs Robinson” said Amanda as she walked by. Ronnie Mitchell noticed also and hurried by.
“Oh no, I smell trouble along the way” said Ronnie to Amanda.
“Really?”
“With a capital T” she said.
Joyce walked into the office. Margaret McKenna was on the phone.
“Thank you” she put the phone down.
“Joyce this is a welcome surprise” she said. “What brings you here” She twiddled her fingers and then pulled up a chair.
“I thought to see how you were doing that’s all” said Joyce with a smile.
“As you can see we are pulling up events here at the hotel a big sci-fi bash heh” Joyce winced.
“Very good but I might as well going to come out with it and not beating round the bush. I have decided to sell my part of the hotel. I know it is in the family but now I cannot go on overseeing two businesses. I got the law firm in London, which Jackson is setting up, and I got Robinson and Tanner. I do not really need Sea Crest Hotel. I mean Martha has the club.”
“What about me?” Joyce held her hand. “This has brought us together more it is like now you’re going to focus on your family. You’re not going to be here for us anymore Joyce I just know it!”
“McKenna is in my name it’s my blood. How am I ever going to forget that?”
SCENE: THE INN
Ronnie Mitchell walked into the bar. “Hey” she said as she walked over and sat on the stool.
“Hey” said Steve. “What brings you to this neck of the woods?”
“Cannot I come and see my favourite cousin?” said Ronnie. Steve looked directly at her insinuating that she could have an agenda.
“Come on Steve as if” she said. “Give me a drink” Suzanne walked from behind the bar.
“Ronnie” she said excitedly.
“Aunt Suzy?”
“Yes indeed” she kissed her niece.
“What are you doing here?”
“Well we just thought that we had to come and visit our family,” she said squeezing her son’s cheek, which he was not too pleased about in public.
SCENE: THE ROBINSON'S
“How was Margaret?” Said a voice from behind Joyce.
“Oh you know upset, but I told her there was nothing to worry about” she implied.
She turned to the man and embraced him. “I just want you to be happy Joyce”
“I know I will be” she kissed him passionately. “Even though I am Hannah’s father?”
She sighed. “Not in the sightless” she said.
