Hello Everyone,
It's been drama as usual down at Summer Bay with everyone on high alert as news got around that Reverend Hall had escaped from hospital. How he escaped is beyond me? He was restrained in his hospital bed and under police guard! It seems someone may have helped him. I can't see how he could have gotten himself out of the restraints, unless of course he is Houdini! But all jokes aside... it was really worrying for all of us to hear he was prowling around out there in the dark considering his mental health.
And Annie went looking for him. Silly girl. When someone has a mental health problem it's too dangerous to try to intervene if you have no knowledge of the disease you are dealing with. She put herself in grave danger by doing that. She is so innocent and thinks the best of people, but Reverend Hall is sick and not the man she once knew. He could have really hurt her, or worse still, but I can't even bare to think about that! Thankfully, Roman and Geoff knew where to find them. And by the sounds of things they got to her just in time, she was in a car with Reverend Hall on the headland. It could have turned really ugly up there, but apparently Geoff and Roman were really brave and stopped Reverend Hall from going over the edge.
On a good note, Leah told me Tony took Rachel out to dinner at a beautiful restaurant in Sydney. Wow, I never expected those two to be a match. I really want to see Rachel in love and with someone who will do the right thing by her. And Tony is such a good man, he'd never hurt her. He's as sturdy as a rock. I guess that comes with age and being sure of yourself and your place in the world. I hope she doesn't worry about the age difference between them, I think a more mature man will be good for her. It's funny though, I thought she was interested in Roman? There seemed to be some pretty hot chemistry going on there. Everyone's noticed it. Maybe Rachel's taking the more cautious path these days when it comes to relationships!
Talking about Rachel, on her suggestion I decided to see my counsellor again. I've been really confused about why I am feeling drawn to Miles - a man I barely know. And lately I've been feeling like I'm going a bit crazy with the whole "Milco" scenario. I've been given homework to do, I have to keep a journal. My counsellor also gave me some good advice. I need to step back a bit from situations and look at them from a different angle, instead of always assuming the worst.
And when it comes to Cassie I do sometimes always presume the worst. Miles told me he walked in on an intimate moment in van six where Henk and Cassie are staying. I told him not to worry, it's only Cassie and Henk. But then Miles later pointed out Martha as being the girl in the caravan, I was absolutely enraged. How could she? To Cassie? I wouldn't put it past Henk but Martha? I had to confront her. She promised me nothing was going on between them and asked me not to say anything to anyone. I'm going to keep quiet on this one for the moment and take a moment to step back and think about this. Maybe there is a logical explanation. I will take my counsellor's advice and not presume the worst, just yet!
I decided to talk to Miles about how I feel. I needed to know if he felt a connection between us too. And he does... but he's not sure how to explain it either! Whatever the connection is he feels safe enough with me to open up about some deeply painful things which have happened to him in his life. He lost his wife and daughter in the Boxing Day tsunami! It broke my heart hearing of his pain. I can really empathise with him having lost Flynn, but losing your own child... I find it hard to breath just thinking about it. No wonder he's been on the road for so long. Maybe that's why we have this bond? We both understand the profound pain associated with losing someone you love?
There was something he said which left me
completely bewildered, he told me his name is Miles Copeland, and then he
said.... "Milco"!
But then we were interrupted and I had to go book someone in to a caravan for the night - and I haven't seen Miles since. I just don't know why he said that or how he could possibly know anything about my imaginary friend from childhood?
Speak to you all next week. With Love.
Sally.
