NOLAN This was going to be easy because I wasn't going to really try, so I knew Nicholas would win. I would try to make it seem like I tried because Mum had the eyes of a hawk. And that was precisely what I did; I released my claws, threw a couple of punches, launched myself at Naire, ensured I struck Nicholas with considerable force and precision a couple of times, and then deliberately allowed myself to 'lose my guard' as Naire attacked me with her knees and then her bare heels to my face a couple of times. I feigned unconsciousness until Nicholas emerged victorious, after twenty long minutes, with Naire yelling out a defeated 'I quit, I quit', as she was pinned down by our eldest, his knees firmly on her upper back.
