Love, Rosie (285 page)

what
he
wants
to
do
other
than
drive
my
car,
I’m
presuming
that
he’ll
be
taking
a
year
out
before
he
heads
off
to
educate
himself
further.
Luckily
Theo
thinks
Josh
is
nuts.
He’s
actually
afraid
of
him.
So
we’re
hoping
that
Theo
can
be
the
son
that
we
can
talk
about
and
admit
to
having.
That
of
course
is
a
joke.
Things
at
the
hospital
are
going
well.
I’m
still
doing
the
same
old
thing
but
my
life
has
been
made
massively
easier
due
to
the
retirement
of
Reginald
Williams.
I
can
breathe
now
without
having
to
explain
it.
Working
with
your
father-in-law
is
as
advisable
as
living
with
his
daughter.
Joking
once
again,
of
course
.
Well,
kind
of,
but
we
won’t
go
into
that.
I
have
to
go
now
but
I
wanted
to
make
sure
things
were
OK
between
us.
The
brochure
for
the
B&B
looks
fantastic!
I
wish
you
well
with
it
Rosie,
you
deserve
the
best!
Love,
Alex

Sorry
I
apologize
for
sounding
off
with
you
on
the
phone.
I
was
a
little
dis-
tracted
by
a
few
things
that
popped
up
from
the
past
in
my
life
that
I
was
previously
unaware
of.
They
were
holding
me
back
for
a
little
while
but
they’ve
let
go
of
me
now
and
I’m
back
on
course.
