We were going to the US? "Once in a while, we go on field trips to countries outside Nigeria. " Abi, the ever patient one explained, "We've gone to Egypt and the UK and if Laura's right, then we are going to the United States next. " "Of course I'm right. " Laura glared at her, dumping the used serviettes on top her empty Tupperware. "Have you never been on one? " she directed at me. "No, not really. "

“Umm, like Switzerland, Japan, New Zealand, Bali and umm, South America. I’ve never had the chance to visit these places.” I grinned as an idea formed in my head. “Good to know. We can plan our honeymoon wisely.” She gaped at me, focusing all her attention on me. Well, that was my intention, and I had succeeded. “Are you crazy? We won’t marry ever, Drake. Then why the hell would we go on a honeymoon?” I rolled my eyes. “A guy can always hope, right?” She glared even more, gulping her drink in one go. “No, Drake.

I haven’t been home in two years. Even though I can’t take you home to momma, I can still take you home to grandma.” “Aww. I look forward to meeting her.” “Okay, well I’ll talk to Mitch and see if I can take you down there.”

There are things that change quietly. They don’t come like storms, and they don’t feel big enough for us to notice right away. They come in the form of small questions, excessive concern, and simple words that sound like love. At first, we even feel lucky to have them. That’s how it was with Tiar.

I ask, changing the subject and keeping them distracted whilst Luke and Josie update Luke’s parents. Sammy and the twins talk excitedly, telling me about baking with grandma and swimming with their grandads. Apparently, they are visiting with their uncle today, which Atlas and Joel seem less than thrilled about. After an hour, we say goodbye, porting straight to our next location on the map, which is a deserted fishing village in China. We immediately rule the place out as it seems a popular tourist attraction and not a place where a large group of Greys would find any privacy. The next place is an abandoned power plant in Japan. It’s very obvious from the undisturbed plant life inside that

Then the next weekend, Sonia and I set off for my mother’s pack, a place I never knew and had never heard of. The people there – they were a bit weird.
