With their marriage back on track, it was time for the Williams to get jobs. Up till now, they’d been living off the massive amount of cash they’d made in their house move, having downsized considerably.

Aimee really wanted to take the opportunity to start again as a chef. She spent days cooking her best recipes repeatedly, determined to get them right.

She didn’t think she could get much better, and her fridge certainly couldn’t take any more leftovers. She would start touting herself around town soon.

Marley had a much easier time of it. He had been a doctor, but wanted to pack that in. It had been too cut-throat, too mercenary. He didn’t want his medical skills to go to waste though, or stop helping people. So he rocked up at the local fire station hoping to impress them.

Marley accepted these terms cheerfully. He loved the look of fire station. It had a relaxed atmosphere, with a little kitchen and a games room upstairs. He was certain he could get up to standard before his probation was over.

The team didn’t really need a new member, but the boss could see the benefit of having someone so highly trained on staff. Marley got himself a probationary placement. He would have to improve his fitness drastically, and get his mechanical knowledge up quickly.

Aimee took her CV to all the places in town, from the classy restaurant to the cosy coffee shop – anywhere to get her first job. A first step on the ladder of her new career.

But no one was willing to take a chance on her.

Her lack of experience was telling, people wanted to know why, if she had always wanted to be a chef, she had left it so late?Why hadn’t she studied it at school? Why had she become a teacher instead?

In desperation she even tried at the dive bar, ready to reheat burgers and fry chips. But they weren’t hiring either. It was a disaster.

Trinity tries to get Belladonna to go out. Fight – B accuses T of pitying her.

With her love life back under control, Trinity was back to concentrating on her sister. Belladonna’s paintings were all outdoor scenes, but they had to made up because she never left the house to paint from life.

Belladonna hadn’t even bothered to get out of bed that day. She had fed Jerix and then retreated with a new book of recipes she’d ordered in the post.

After a bit of prompting Belladonna got up and dressed. But beyond that… she didn’t want to go out and eat, or see a movie, or go shopping…. She just didn’t fancy going out that day. That was all. Maybe tomorrow. Or the weekend.

Trinity tried to tackle the problem head on. She said Belladonna’s excuses were all garbage, she had to go out some time. They began to fight it out.

In anger, Trinity accused Belladonna of being pathetic, a baby. Was she scared of going outside or something?!

Belladonna flipped, and lashed out with a slap.

Trinity was left reeling. They’d often fought, they were sisters after all, but it hadn’t got physical since they were young teens.

She wasn’t sure what had happened, but she felt like she’d failed at something.

The twins retreated to their rooms to sulk and think over what had just happened.

Jerix loved them both, he wasn’t sure who to go and comfort. Was this fixable?
