Joyce puts her bags to one side. “Now I be gone for just a few days but I will be back, Martha and will sort this mess out I assure you!” She hugged her daughter. “Don’t go for too long will you,” she said.
“Of course I won’t I be on the phone every day” she said. Dominick was there with her. “I take these to the car Joyce” she smiled at him. “Now I have to be with my opponent but I’m sure I get his back. This would be good for our town and for us to have the French with us,” said Joyce. Dominick walked back inside.
“The taxi is getting impatient,” said Dominick. She kissed her daughter goodbye and they both left, Martha shut the door behind them.
Martha tutted.
Scene: The Club
Hannah Badhman walked into the bar with Eddie and Lizzie.
“Well here it is, what do you think? Mickey will get this if he buys then this will be mine as well,” she said.
“You think he is going to take you on?” Asked Eddie.
“More than that he is going to marry me” she replied.
“Wo, hang on a minute” said Lizzie. “You think he is going to propose to you just like that” clicking her fingers.
She smiled. “I have my ways” she said.
“Nuts” said Eddie.
“Just you wait and see next year I be Mrs Smith”
Eddie and Lizzie looked at each other worryingly.
Scene: The Inn
“Mum has gone to France!” Carly poured Martha a glass of wine. “It’s to do the election,” she added. “Have you spoken to Adele about it?” Martha glared at Carly. “Adele, Queen Adele is wedding planning I am no way of speaking to her at the moment. Reasons that I cannot get involved in” she said.
Martha drank a bit of wine. “That’s good I needed that,” she said. “So how’s it going with your brother Alex, it must be somewhat weird and that” she added.
“Taking too much in its been difficult especially for Steve you know” she said.
“Martha I don’t know, maybe you could have a word with Steve if that’s okay. I mean I have tried believe me. He’s acting like a spoilt brat,” she said. She nodded.
“I do my best,” she added.
The Badhman’s
Mickey Smith opened the door and Max stood there with a bottle of wine. “Mickey” he said. “What do you want?”
“May I?” Mickey stood to the side and he let Max in. “So Hannah is letting you stay here now? It’s a bit forward into a relationship,” he said.
“What do you want Max?”
“I have come to you for you to have a way out in this mess of yours with the Robinson’s.”
“What way out?”
Hannah pulled up outside and noticed Max’s car. What is he doing here she thought. She got out of the car quickly and head inside.
“Hey what is going on?”
“Ah I was just telling Mickey I got a proposition for him that’s all,” he said.
“Really” she thought. “Anything you could tell Mickey I’m sure you could tell me” she said holding his arm.
“Very well” he said.
Scene: The Inn
Jack Palmer walked into the bar. “Hey dad” said Carly.
“Hey where is your mother?”
“Out the back” she said. She noticed three people walking into the Inn with bags.
“Who are they?”
“Alex’s adoptive family” he said.
Scene: France
Later that evening
Joyce walked into the hotel room and placed her bags down to one side. “That’s better,” she said. Joyce sat on the armchair and picked up the phone.
“Honey its mum here, just got into Paris and I be setting off to meet the minister and his wife now,” she said. “Give me a call, love you” she put the down. There was a knock at the door. “Come in” she said getting up from the chair.
“Are you ready?” Dominick called.
“Yes” she said.
“Let’s go and meet the Counsellor,” she said.
As they came down to the lobby Frank was there waiting for them. “Ah they are here” said Frank. “This will definitely give you the scope you need on becoming Mayor Joyce just you wait,” he said.
“Joyce what a pleasant surprise!” Joyce was startled.
“What –“ Victoria Heatherfield clasped her hands with delight as she walked by holding the Counsellors hand.
“Always a pleasure to greet an old friend, wouldn’t you say?” Stefano Pierra smiled as he shook Joyce’s hand.
