Chapter Forty-Seven

Request
When I’ve spent some time with Nemo and he’s settled back down to sleep, I take out my phone and see I have a new text from Henny.
When can I come and visit you on the magical Loor Island? Next month? Next week? Tomorrow? I’m desperate to see it all for myself!
Maybe not for a while yet. I’m still sorting things out. Lots to do.
But you have your own fully furnished beach house, right? Once you’ve unpacked, you’re all set.
Not exactly…
Why?
It’s a long story.
Are you lonely yet?
I have a LOT of animals keeping me company.
I thought there were three?
More, plus a dog and a tortoise.
I miss you. The office is not the same without you.
I miss you too.
I think even Scotty misses you.
Scotty misses having someone to shout at.
He has me for that. Let me know when I can visit, and I’ll be there like a shot. Just say the word, OK?
Let me settle in a bit and I’ll be in touch, I promise. X
