I think it’s my insistence to reunite with Yates that has
helped my relationship with Elle. I admire her a lot. A girl who had everything
stolen from her who only exists selflessly. It’s only now I realise that
everything she does is driven by a desire to help others. She knew I wanted to
find Penny so she came along on hare-brained adventures with me. She saw that
Yates needed help so she gave him a best friend. It makes sense that Graham, a
person who only thinks inwardly, would irritate her so much.
I reach
the crest of the dune and stop beside her. Thinking and losing track of what my
body was doing means that I hold my side with a sharp stitch. I massage myself
in the hope that it might subside.
‘Anything?’
I ask.
‘Not as
far as the eye can see,’ Elle says. ‘We should be getting back really, we
wouldn’t want to miss out on Teague’s fabulous school of excellence.’
