... endlessly, Scott accepted she couldn't give up her dream, but it was far harder than either of them had anticipated, Shannon emphasised how much she was missing Scott. He explained how both he and Chloe were missing her and asked her to have a longer break back home as it was half way through the year.

"I am sorry I can't make it back this weekend, we have a big gala event."

Scott's frustrations finally broke through, "Are you ever coming back, you realise this is the 2nd time in a row, Chloe won't have seen you for 6 weeks and that's only if you can be bothered to make the next trip back."

"Don't be like that, this is important, it's my career."

"Yeah I can see what you think is important Shannon. You do realise you were so exhausted last time you were back we didn't make love, it's coming up to 2 months since we were intimate."

Shannon was concerned about Scott but she was consumed by work and quite stressed, it was demanding and she had to remain focused. Scott was so steady, she knew him and Chloe would be fine. Their mums were there helping and asking Christine to be a nanny would provide more support. There was the added advantage that Christine would report back any concerns.

It was the following weekend that saw Scott and Shannon staring in the mirrors, 1,000 miles apart and experiencing almost completely opposing thoughts.

The contact improved for a while before returning to the previous levels. To be fair Christine was like a god send, the mum's helped but she took a lot of pressure off Scott and freed up time for him.

It didn't take long for Christine to tell Shannon that Chloe was missing her and that she should get back more. She confirmed Scott was a brilliant dad and the bond with Chloe was amazing to witness. Shannon felt some pangs of regret about that statement.

"He's not looking about for anyone else is he Christine? We feel a bit distant now."

"No, but he is feeling abandoned Shan. What is happening with you, this arrangement isn't fair on either of them."

Shannon was pleased Christine was there to keep an eye ...
