Finally, she fully sounds like a little girl again, the little sister I remember, before life’s challenges forced her to grow up before anyone should have to. I put an arm around her. “I’ll always come for you. Now, what else did you hear on the news?”Elsey’s eyes light up. “That Tristan ran away from home!” she exclaims. “What? He…ran away?” I look at Tawni and Cole, who are staring at me. “Yep. And apparently he was headed for the Moon Realm, subchapter six I think they said.”“That’s only a single train ride from here,” I say, finally connecting the dots. “He was coming to find you,” Tawni says.Cole shakes his head. “C’mon, seriously. These strange feelings and all that rubbish again, really? Coincidence I reckon. If he really was trying to get away for a while, he probably just picked a place where no one would think to look for him.”Elsey touches my arm. “Why would Tristan have been coming to find you?” she asks.I tell her everything. Cole stalks off and pretends not to listen, but Tawni stays by me, even holds my hand for part of it.Elsey is ecstatic when I finish.
