Chapter Forty-Seven

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
