Henry left.
I didn't know whether he would come back.
But even if he did, I wouldn't change my mind.
Ellie grew so quickly. Babies only a few months old seemed to look different every single day.
Lucy and I became friends.
When she found out I was preparing for the DELF, she introduced me to a teacher and often took time out of her busy schedule to help me practice my speaking.
Time flew.
Two months later.
"Lucas, now that you're here, you have to stay for a few days. Ellie and I have both missed you."
"Don't worry. I took vacation specifically to come see my niece!"
As soon as Lucas came through the door, he washed his hands and changed his clothes before finally reaching out to hold Ellie.
The little girl wasn't shy at all. She lay in Lucas's arms, giggling as he teased her.
