Robyn's POV

I was in my local DVD shop buying the Blu Ray's for the movie marathon I was going to have with Laura next week.

I stepped into the elevator my boot heels making quite a noise on the metal floor. While I was waiting for the lift to take me down I admired my outfit in the lift doors. I'd taken my beanie off and my hair was lightly tousled and coming out of its ponytail. My outfit under my duffel coat was a black jumper, knee length grey skirt and my knee black boots.

I took my hair out of it's ponytail and retied it using the lift doors as a mirror.

Once I'd finished making my purchases I walked out of the shop and made my way home. I was just thinking how nice it was to have not cried because of the wind or the cold so far this week when my eyes started to fill with tears.

As I pressed the button to cross the road they started to run down my cheeks. Nobody was around to see thank goodness and when I was allowed to cross the road I did.

I suddenly felt a strange feeling towards the two streams of wetness on my face. I almost liked it. So much so that I didn't wipe my cheeks straight away

Another tear fell this time down my right cheek and then I decided it was probably time to wipe my face.

When I arrived home, I checked myself in my mobile phone screen that I looked okay before going in. I did so in I went carrying my new Blu-Ray's

Laura's POV

I was really looking forward to playing Monopoly with Tristan. Especially since Cousin Megan wasn't here. Don't get me wrong I loved her to bits, but playing Monopoly with her was a pain because she was SO pedantic about following the rules to the letter. I swear she must have memorised them. We didn't do things like auctioning off properties for instance if nobody wanted to buy them

We chose our tokens, I had the scotty dog, Tristan the racing car and mum was the iron. We decided on a one hour time limit and Mum appointed herself as Master Stop Watch and Banker. 

Tristan won the dice throw to go first and as soon as he threw again the 1 hour time limit started 

Laura's POV

... lots of money if she bought Park Place alongside Boardwalk. The rent for both was the steepest in the game and if she built hotels this would easily bankrupt me and Tristan

We both stopped our game of footsie and groaned inwardly. My next throw put me on Pacific Avenue and I bought it to join the other green property in my collection North Carolina Avenue. 

Tristan however was unlucky and stopped on a Chance space and drew Go To Jail

Laura's POV

Mum threw a four which meant she landed on one of Tristan's properties Indiana Avenue. We knew from playing with Megan that he could still collect rent and buy houses if he wished to. Tristan collected his $18 rent from Mum and it was my turn. 

I landed on a Chance square too and got the card 'Advance to Nearest Railroad' In this case it was Reading and it was currently unowned. I bought it for $200 giving me three railroads (the only one I didn't have was B&O)

It was Tristan's turn next and I wondered if he was going to buy any houses or pay his fine

Laura's POV

Thirty minutes had now passed

Mum's next throw put her on Water Works which she owned. My next throw put me on Pennsylvania Railroad dangerously close to Tristan's corner near Free Parking. I needed a good throw to avoid his red properties as those had the houses on.

Tristan picked up the dice and he rolled ....
