It was hot and stuffy and, although the film was funny, Antonia wasn’t in the mood for being indoors. At least Abi was enjoying herself. She sat in between Sophie and Antonia holding the huge bucket of popcorn the girls had bought between them. She laughed so much during the film she reminded Antonia of the old Abi. Furtively Antonia checked her watch. Surely the film was nearly over? Sophie’s mum had said to ring them when they got out and she would come and pick them up. Antonia wished they’d asked to walk home. She couldn’t bear being cooped up and wanted to be out in the fresh air and sunshine. A funny feeling swept over her. At first Antonia thought she felt odd because it was so stuffy in the cinema. The feeling persisted. Suddenly, Antonia sat bolt upright in her chair. Of course! Spirit was about to call. Her hand flew to her silver dolphin charm. Its soft body quivered against her fingers. Antonia groaned. Why now? How could she answer Spirit’s call when she was at the cinema with Abi and Sophie?
