Lucy tells her mother that she doesn't like Toni Ross. "And I don't think you do either," she says. "I don't know
why you think I don't like Toni. She's very nice. I like her very much," says Kate. "You don't need me to
tell you why. You're in love with David aren't you," says Lucy. Lucy tells her mother that she saw the way
she looked at David and Toni during dinner. Kate tells her to stop day dreaming. "I quite like the idea.
A lot of people might say you're ideally suited. Anyway David's a nice man," says Lucy. "Lucy!" says Kate, exasperated.
"Come to think of it, David would make an ideal step father," says Lucy.
