#Chapter19
SAFE
We had been driving for five minutes. I was enjoying watching the fields pass us by. There is nothing more I love than the countryside. The smell of the forest, even seeing the forest, is home to me.
Callie rested her head on my shoulder, /"your mummy is pretty./" She whispered.
I glanced at my mum in the front of the car. She had a subtle smile on her face while she looked back at us.
/"Yeah, she is, Callie./" I agreed with a smile.
I peered over at Brody. He was gazing out of the window, his leg was bouncing up and down, and he kept flexing his fingers on his knee.
/"Are you okay?/" I whispered.
It didn’t matter how quiet I was, my mum would certainly hear.
/"Just a little nervous is all. I’ll be okay./" Brody reassured, offering me a small smile.
/"I have four little boys waiting at home, excited to meet you, Callie./" Mum chirped.
