... on Scott. She was worried about him straying whilst she was away, not that he was the type but you couldn't be too careful. She hadn't really anticipated Christine giving her a hard time about missing trips back and not seeing Chloe, she was nearly as bad as her mum for nagging her.
***
Christine's choice in men wasn't always the best and included an abusive ex-husband. He turned up one night banging on Scott's front door, shouting that he knew Christine was in there with him. Christine was a wreck and begged Scott not to answer. Luckily Shannon's mother Maureen was visiting at the same time.
"Let me see her or else!"
Scott wasn't in the mood, the fact Chloe was asleep in bed upstairs made his protective instincts kick in. He opened the door, the clearly drunk ex stepped forward until Scott pushed him back off the step.
"Or else what? What exactly are you going to do?"
"The ex took a further step back, confused by Scott's question, "I, I..."
"Yeah thought so, bullies like you only pick on those smaller or weaker, now piss off before I make you."
The ex started swearing he knew Christine was inside. It was then Shannon's mum Maureen appeared at the door, "Yes she is inside but she doesn't ever want to see you again."
The sight of Maureen destroyed his notion of Scott and Christine being together intimately. Despite that, common sense didn't prevail and angered he took a swing at Scott, missing by some distance. Scott barely tapped him back and he ...
... keeled over. It was hardly Ali, but a victory non the less and after a few beers it would sound like 12 rounds against Mike Tyson.
The ex struggled to get up, as Maureen shouted at him, "I've called the police, we have a child in the house and you're a disgrace of a man."
He tried to slither away into the night, but hadn't gotten as far as the road end when the police picked him up. Christine was all over the place, it took ages for Scott and Maureen to calm her, give her some tablets and get her to lie down.
"Can you look after her for a while Scott, she was always such a gentle sole growing up with Shannon. It's a pity she can't find someone to look after her like she deserves. I'll call back around tomorrow, hopefully she will be better then."
"Of course, I owe her for the way she has looked after Chloe, not all men are like him, she could do far better."
Scott checked in on Christine through the night, she seemed restless but never awoke until breakfast.
"Thank you for last night, I owe you."
"Nonsense, I just watched you ex fall over, it was quite amusing really and anyone would do the same."
"You didn't know what would happen when you went to the door. I seem to attract losers, what is it about me, why can't I just find a nice guy like you?"
"Listen Christine, I have no idea what he has done to your self-esteem and confidence but you are an attractive women, as well as being smart and caring. I would snap you up in a heartbeat if I wasn't already ...
