Aggie stood with her back firmly against the door. She couldn't move. How could she face that woman? She'd have to leave her lovely apartment and find somewhere else far away. This bothered her considerably as she liked living in Rathmines.

There was a knock on the door. Aggie's heart began to pound. She froze. Then once more that knock. She jumped and opened the door.

"Oh it's you" said Aggie. It was another one of her neighbours, Julie.

She was oblivious to what Julie said - something about a party and noise and she was welcome. Aggie declined and thanked her.

She looked in her cupboard; there was enough food for the weekend, she wouldn't have to leave and risk bumping into Skye.

Aggie sat down to her books She tried to relax but something bothered her. She decided to have a bath; that would relax her for sure.
