I ask Mason with excitement. He flashes me a cheeky smile. “You’ll see.” We drive for about forty minutes and I love every single one of them. Mason turned the car stereo on soon after we left Cole’s house, and we have spent most of the journey singing loudly to the songs. I can’t remember laughing so much! My cheeks even hurt from smiling. When he turns down the volume, I know that we are here. I still don’t know where we are yet, and I stretch my neck around to get a good look from my view out the windows. “Where are we?” I ask him. “Home.” He smiles as he looks at his surroundings. Home? I carry on looking around. Wherever we are, it’s pretty. Tall, green bushes hug the black gates, and when Mason gets back into the car after having unlocked them the old-fashioned way with a key, we drive inside. I laugh as Mason runs back out to lock them again but then we’re soon driving up the long cobbled road to the house that makes my eyes widen.
