It had been a long day and Melanie had never been more glad to have a Nanny then she was at that moment. Her eldest, Claudine was out at a friends for the weekend and her gorgeous little five year old Caroline had just been put to bed. She loved both her daughters but it was Friday night and her partner was working and it had been a long week. She needed some adult time.
Thankfully, Cordelia always seemed to be down for some adult conversation. And it helped that she’d gotten a rather curious message from the other woman earlier that day. Melanie wasn’t sure what it was about but she was curious nonetheless. The promise of wine and bitching, she knew had drawn her blonde over.
A knock sounded at the door and Melanie was glad she’d already set out two wine glasses. No doubt that would be Cordelia. She made her way to the front door, pulling it open with ease, a smirk on her lips, anticipating her friend. “Well, fancy seeing you here,” she drawled, accent lilting and thick.
