Christine and Richard arrived at their hotel at Champs Les Sims at 8am Sunday morning.
"We should get changed and then head to the nectary don't you think?" Christine asks,
"Actually, I think i'm going to go and have a lie down, I have a headache you know how flying makes me. But you go ahead, bring back a good bottle for us to have with our evening meal." Richard says.

Christine smiles to try to mask her disappointment, "Of course, you know I only pick the best nectar."
Richard chuckles and kisses Christine,
"You go and have fun, i'll see you later for dinner."

Christine gets changed into more breathable clothing and loosens her hair before heading to the nectary. She spends her time picking fruit in the gardens to make her own nectar before sitting down to taste some of the house specials.

As she sits with a glass of nectar she reminisces on the first time the ever visited France. It was with her parents when she was 10, they visited the very same nectary and Christine just fell in love with the elegance that came with sipping on glasses of nectar, studying the bottles, picking the fruit, she loved it all. Of course, as she grew older she became more accustomed to the array of multicolored cocktails that the clubs in Bridgeport had to offer but nothing had ever come close to the feeling of sophistication that the nectary had given her. She remembers one of her first dates with Richard, when she had told him her dreams of owning her own nectary and making her own bottles, he had told her that he would buy her a building to turn into Bridgeports first nectary. Of course, it hadn't happened yet, Richard had to focus on buying out the main parts of Bridgeport before focusing on opening a brand new establishment. Christine sighed and finished her glass before heading to the counter to purchase a bottle of perfect nectar to bring back with the 3 bottles of her self-made nectar. Despite earlier feeling quite dissapointed that her husband wasn't joining her for their first day in France, Christine had enjoyed her time alone doing her favourite activity.

Richard laid on the bed trying to work out how to solve his mess. His bank account was quickly draining, it would be almost empty after the trip to France. He could continue to lie of course, pretend he was investing into things but if he wasn't quick at finding a real investment to boost their income he would get caught out. Charlotte probably wouldn't realise, she wasn't at all interested in the family business and she hadn't even noticed that the piano had disappeared from the sitting room. Christine had been relatively easy to persuade that everything was under control and because of the trip to France, her mind was off the matter. The only way she would find out would be if her card declined at a club or the spa or if the repo man showed up again. Enid was the cause for concern, her finger was very much in the family business pie. Richard realised that the only way to distract her from the issue would be to let her unknowingly help to solve it, he would ask for her help in finding a club to invest in.

He was pulled from his thoughts by the sound of bottles clinking together, Christine stood in the doorway,
"Are you feeling better darling? I'm just going to freshen up then we can go out for dinner."
They headed to the local restaurant and enjoyed a wonderful meal before ending the night with the nectar that Christine had so carefully picked for them.

"This nectar is wonderful darling." Richard said and Christine smiled, feeling warm inside due to both the nectar and the hope that her marriage was getting back on track.
