She's not made of glass. Nobody was hurt in the fire, and it'll hurt her more if she comes back (after presumably being given a shoddy excuse as to why she can't come back straight away) and finds out then.

Wouldn't it be better for her in the long run if her dad was there for her when she finds out given what happened in the previous fire?

Again, she was having problems coming back before the fire so it may be that she wasn't palmed off with excuses but that she's actually decided to stay on at a friends house somewhere.

And...also, they might want to wait to tell her face to face rather than worrying her over a phone conversation. Especially if she finds out that her dad went charging in to save her.

What problems coming back? Did I miss something? She was coming back from school like normal, just decided to stay an extra night with a friend. :searchme:


And maybe just me, but I'd rather be told that there was a fire, but that nobody was hurt, than find out my family and friends don't trust me to deal with events without going completely off the rails. Maybe she doesn't need to be told the ins and outs, like that it was Danny or that Johnny went in to try and save her.

I didn't see any great trauma resulting from the previous fire -- yes, she was upset, of course she was, but her main angst was that Johnny wasn't connecting with her or talking about it with her.

That's what I meant. Early in that week she had a problem coming home and Johnny told her not to worry. I swear, either that or I mis heard or read the phonecall between them.

Thats what i thought, it would be better for her if her dad was there to comfort her given what happened in the last fire, even if it is being kept a secret from her until then.

But what about her sleepwalking to try and get out and find her mum and sister?

And she was on tablets for some sort of depression and/or the sleepwalking.

Yes, and he tried to get her to see someone over it when she sleepwalked, got locked out and stayed the night with Stacey at the Slaters'.
