Summary: Life begins to return to normal, without Mei Lin. They discover what their new normal could look like now that everything is out in the open Jean tells Patrick some home truths.

Notes: Happy birthday pumpkinspicelove! I LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, it's been over a year🫣 Thanks for those who are still reading this. I've moved stores, gone back to my first love of community theatre, and finally had my foot surgery. I am currently in month 4 of my supposed 3 months off work... Surgery went well, the foot was more damaged than they could see on the MRI and it was a very big surgery to begin with, so its taking a long time to heal. I may even be out of the moon boot indefinitely by the end of the week🤞

If you need an update of where we're at, which, fair, I'd suggest re-reading the previous two chapters.

Also found a new obsession in The Doctor Blake Mysteries (Lucien and Jean really are the 1950s Australian Siegfried and Audrey, except with murder. And way more drama). Years later than everyone else, it seems. (Spoilers below if you haven’t watched).

Then I started watching ACGAS and fell in love with these two from the very first episode. I mean, how could I not ship them after this scene...

But then once again, and very late to the game this time, I discovered The Doctor Blake Mysteries and what do you know, I'm suddenly falling down that rabbit hole of the beautiful housekeeper and her slightly grumpy/eccentric man again.

Two out of three ain't bad, still living in hope that ACGAS might make it three out of three in the coming series. 🙏🏻 They are meant to be together.
