Chapter 45

A Sister’s Vision

I turn to see Charlotte run over to me. I can see she’s near to tears as she latches onto my arm.

Concern fills me as she buries her head in my chest and I wrap my arm around her, rubbing her back. We may argue often, but she’s still my little sister.

I cock a brow. “They may be smaller places, Charlotte, but that doesn’t mean the hygiene isn’t good.”

She shrugs, “Ok, can we go?”

I nod, “Sure we can.”

I’ll face the consequences later. I know I will,

but tonight I’ll aim to make one of us have a good end to the day.

“Let me go grab my keys.” I say to her, “I’ll get them!” She says quickly. “I need to grab my coat!”
