Little had they realised just how close physically they had become, leaning towards each other so close so very close. Just then Mother Immaculata chose to walk in, stopping short when she saw Simone was not alone. Simone, Ms Tillman am I interrupting something? For a moment there Mother Immaculata thought she had interrupted what looked like a very intimate moment between the two of them. Particularly the way both women sprang about so abruptly.

No no not at all Simone managed to blurt out, um you can go now Annabelle remember what I said. Not being able to help herself Annabelle winked at Simone before existing. Taking a deep breath Simone turned to face Mother Immaculata how can I help you? Well actually I’m glad you asked? I was wondering if you were not busy tonight if you would like to come to tea? I have something I would like to discuss with you its rather a delicate subject and I would appreciate your input.

Simone raising an eyebrow was quite intrigued she could not remember the last time they had tea together. This must be serious sure okay I would like that, what time? Bout 7-30pm would be fine. Okay see you there then.

That night Simone went to see Mother Immaculata after tea they sat down with a glass of wine. They had some chit chat during tea, Simone was could not get a hint of what Immaculata wanted to talk about, finally after having a sip of wine Mother Immaculata spoke clearing her throat, Simone the reason I wanted to talk to you in private was to discuss one of your students. The Student being Ms Annabelle Tillman if Simone had not already been sitting down she would have fallen flat on her arse. Just managing to look calm but alarmed. She went for the casual thought nodding look.

Tell me how is Annabelle behaving towards the other students? Has she taken any particular interest in anyone? Simone suddenly alarmed cut Immaculata off before she said anything else. Um just what are you trying to say exactly? Well I since you have put it so bluntly, I’ll come straight to the point Annabelle Tillman maybe struggling with her sexual identity and I would like you to help her. Mother Immaculata sat shocked and wet dripping in red wine; Simone had just managed to spray her Aunty with her wine. Coughing and joking tears in her eyes Simone gasping for breath. She could not help bring up her drink!
