"The two of them are really hitting it off," Elizabeth laughed as she watched Emma and Oscar play with Captain Pantaloons together.
Amelie turned to look at the children too, smiling as she noticed how happy her son looked next to Emma who had already become his best friend.
All of a sudden, a dark wave of sadness washed over her, bringing back painful memories from her own childhood.
'They look just like us... when we were kids.'
The first time Amelie met Richard, she was shy and did not know what to do. He was a handsome boy with soft brown hair and dark eyes that shone under the warm orange light of the crystal chandelier in the living room of the Clarks mansion.
'Is he a prince?' She thought, peeking from behind her mother's skirt. He might as well have been, given that he was wearing a small plastic crown and had a small wooden sword strapped to the side of his belt.
How did the two of them get to become friends?
