Later that week, Diana found herself with a free day. It was a good chance to get out and about, so she took Abby to the supermarket.
As it was the weekend, there weren't many people there. Abby walked around in the dairy aisle for a long time while Diana waited patiently for her to choose.
"Mummy, can I have this?" Abby asked hopefully, picking up a big box of cheddar cheese.
Diana laughed out loud. Abby had been obsessed with cheese lately; she couldn't stop eating it! Curiously, Diana didn't like cheese at all. She thought it must have come from Brian.
Meanwhile, Brian happened to be shopping in the same supermarket. He would hold a celebratory party that night, but his assistant was busy, so Brian went to the supermarket himself.
As he came out from the alcohol aisle, Brian spotted Diana over in the next section. When he was about to go and greet her, he heard a child call Diana "Mummy."
