So, one day, whilst out with young Andy, she meets up with one of her work colleagues.
They've built up a great working relationship and have an amazing rapport together.
So she decided to chat him up a little.
Nothing too sinister, just trying to find out if he was currently in a relationship.
And he was.
Oh Damn.
Oh.... well...
Slightly disheartened, she decided to just give him a complimentary hug and went on her way.
'Mr Right' MUST be around about somewhere. She just needed to look that little bit harder to find him.
In the garden, her Death Plant had died, so she decided to pay a visit, back to the graveyard to harvest more seeds from the plant. Andy was at school, but they'd agreed to meet at the graveyard after school, and he was excited at the fact that they were visiting somewhere exceptionally creepy.
Sadly, the original plant had died, leaving her empty handed.
But did it?
A figure appeared at the gates wearing a ponytail and a plaid shirt and wandered towards the nearest bench, an elderly woman accompanying him.
Intrigued, Sonia approached him and said hi. Shyly he said hi back a nervous smile on his face. That smile vanished however, when a raucous voice shattered the peaceful calm.
A snooty looking woman appeared and instantly looked down her nose at Sonia, who ignored her completely. She was too curious about this lonely man.
Bravely, she enquired to see if he was involved with someone.
He said no he was single.
BINGO!!!!!
They got to chatting for a while, getting to know each other. The snooty woman, he admitted, was his mother. This was the infamous Malcolm Landgrabb. He was nothing like his pushy, ambitious, ruthless mother Nancy. He was good, sweet, gentle and shy.
Surprisingly enough, little Andy had the bare faced cheek to approach Nancy Landgrabb and asked her for homework help.
And she obliged happily. Pleased with herself for sharing her innate knowledge with a young, impressionable mind.
Well, Sonia and Malcolm got chatting, although as soon as she pushed him too far, he'd retreat, backing away, slightly frightened at her.
The night drew in and on top of feeling tired and hungry, the graveyard was starting to creep out Andy.
And because Malcolm was getting really exhausted too, he was getting grouchy. So sadly, Sonia and this sweet guy had to part.
They drew each other into a comforting (if not promising) hug, before saying goodbye to one another.
Was this love... at last?
