After spending time in school in London, Amanda agreed to quality family time in Bucharest. She was surprised by how friendly everyone was to each other. She even saw a familiar face in the crowd, but she chose to avoid him because it was the safest thing to do. Despite the sad reminder of the family drama that occurred in the months before, Christmas was wonderful. In the morning, Amanda went to walk the family dog as usual. She approached Nero and gently shook him, trying to wake him. But the beagle wouldn't budge. It was then that Amanda realised that Nero was no longer alive. He was quite old after all. "Mum!" she called, and she burst into tears. She put her had against Nero's fur and gently stroked his ears, thinking of all the fun times she's had with him. It seemed that she had been letting go of a lot of loved ones lately. Who or what next? Comments
