to give it a face lift,
a fresh start was what Sophie needed, he wanted to live here with her forever and he couldn't
even contemplate coming home from France without her. His parents returned to Cheshire,
Duncan was busy supervising the demolition job and Marcus was left to ponder how he would
convince his girl he was in it for keeps, he had an idea that may just work.
Chapter 18
Sophie was relaxing on a sun lounger reading her kindle, she had spent the last two days doing
exactly that and was enjoying the “Twilight” saga she had watched the films with Charlotte but
was enjoying the books much more. The sun was doing a wonderful job of healing her cuts and
despite the fact she was a redhead she did tan quite well and her skin was now a golden colour
which made her scars less noticeable, she was using the oil as instructed by Raj, her mum did her
back every morning and the difference was noticeable even after such a short time, her mum had
treated her to a manicure and a haircut, she loved her hair it was cut just to the middle of her back
and she had layers put in so the curls with softer around her face. Although Sophie was healing
outwardly her inner self was still a complete train wreck but the worst thing of all was the hole in
her that leaving Marcus had made, she was desperate to ring him and beg him to come to her but
she needed to do the right thing and let him move on, as sad as that made her she felt it was the
right thing to do. After dinner she went for a walk by the sea she missed Anglesey but it was
definitely warmer here and that was a fact! Her mum was going home in the morning and she was
feeling a little anxious about being on her own again, Diane had been amazing and they had sat
talking for hours in fact Diane had decided when she returned to London she was going to try and
track Saul down again, Sophie should know her dad they were both really excited about it, he was
a budding writer with a bright future when they had met at university, she knew he had always
wanted to be a novelist or scriptwriter so that would be where she would start her search.
Diane left for the airport shortly after their morning coffee on the decking, Sophie felt empty here
alone but she put on her bikini and went back to the sun lounger and picked up her kindle, the
silence was suddenly compounding her empty feeling and she was feeling just like Bella in the
book she was reading, she had to hold her arms around herself to hold herself together and
soothe the gaping hole in her chest, Sophie was feeling exactly the same way, Bella gets her happy
ending though, Sophie’s hole was just going to get bigger. Lunch times Sophie and her mum had
walked to the little bakery at the bottom of the hill to get a fresh baguette every day, they had a
stash of cheese in the fridge, Sophie hadn’t really eaten anything since the accident nausea hit her
frequently during the day and it made eating seem impossible, today she was peckish so decided
to try and eat. She slipped a sundress over her bikini it was floor length so covered her wounds and
she walked down to the Patisserie. As she was walking back up the hill carrying her petit pain she
noticed a man walking towards her she blinked and stopped in her tracks, she lifted her sun glasses
up and tried to focus her eyes, it couldn't be him surely, she must be hallucinating, that or wishful
thinking but as he got closer to her there was no mistaking that floppy brown hair gorgeous mouth
and broad shoulders, it was Marcus he had come for her, she couldn't believe that despite
everything, despite her letter, her horrific actions, he was here for her. Although Sophie’s head was
saying stop her heart exploded and she dropped bread and ran towards him ignoring the look of
shock on his face she threw herself straight into his arms and planted her mouth firmly on his he
hesitated for no more than a second before wrapping his arms around her and kissing her back
