Amy Chapter 1 – The trip
My problems all started with a issue at work. The company had expanded from Australia into the UK but was struggling with compliance with British law. My boss asked me to drop everything and get the hell over there to fix the problem.
My kids were devastated. Well one was. Naomi was eight. Sadly I would miss her 9th birthday. Hayley was thirteen and was way too cool to care what dad was up to. Naomi had inherited her mothers bronzed complexion. Hayley however was very blonde, slightly spoiled by her dad and was soon going to be the girl all the boys want to know. While I was preparing myself for the arrival of teenage boys sniffing around at our door, I cant say I was looking forward to it.
Hayley took her blonde complexion from me. I’d always appreciated my sandy blonde hair, when I grew it long in my teens and twenties it made the girls swoon. My skin colour was another thing altogether. I burn in seconds in the Australian sun. So does Hayley. But hey it got me laid a lot so I guess It was a cross I could bear. As for Hayley’s hair colour helping her with the boys, well the thought of it made me queasy.
