London was fun. Not because of any special sights or anything like that; but because Emi could see her friends and some other family members more often. Her grandma and grandpa lived in London. And her uncle Eli and his girlfriend. Even her aunt Zelda lived there. She usually got to see them during family gatherings though, so maybe the most fun in London was being able to see Lijah, Jarrett, Tansy and Maddie.
She’d met Jarrett in the park unexpectedly. He was weird. But weren’t all boys weird? Okay, maybe not weird in a bad sense, but still… strange. There was always this look in his eyes like he knew all of the secrets that the world held. Like he could read minds or something. And his way of doing things was kind of mysterious. He was like a grown up in a little boy’s body. Sometimes Emi forgot he was still a kid. And then there was Lijah. Well, he was just super fun to be around. She liked how he was gentle. Not like other boys. He showed her some cool things, like winter flowers. Their picnic in his mum’s garden was like something out of the fairytales. Maddie and Tansy were normal. Well okay, Tansy was really shy but she was still fun to play with and Maddie was super fun to play with too. Back in Paris, there were some guys working on the new bedrooms, and Emi was excited to see them. Renovations, her parents called it. But at the same time, she didn’t really want to leave London. She thought of begging them to stay in London. She could even spend time with her new kobesister Maë and Aunty Daphne, who wasn’t actually her aunty. Emi sighed, making her mummy ask what was wrong. But she just shook her head. “Nothing, nothing,” she said, though she was in a bit of a cranky mood. At least in Paris she’d have a cool new room.
