Flip of a Coin

Chapter 16 (Eden's Mum's POV)

A/N - So I've decided to do some character perspectives starting with Eden's mum because I think this will work best as the first one. I might spread the different perspectives out a bit so that Eden's perspectives are mixed between them. 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was sitting in the Lounge at Mrs James house. We often visit each other once a week to check in and so that I can make sure every thing is going ok with my other daughter. We make sure to do it when the girls are at school though so that they have no idea about it. "Has Grace been acting strangly lately?"

"Um...I guess so. She said it was about finding out that Eden also flipped coins but I think some thing else is wrong," Mrs James explains.

"Yeah, Eden has been the same. I have no idea what's wrong though. I know she always keeps up with her coin flipping so that won't be the problem," I explain.

"They haven't met any boys, I think that was to do with one of the recent questions. It was something like 'Should you find someone to like in a new way?' and I know there is a question about asking someone out soon," Mrs James tells me.

"Ah, although I don't think that's quite the problem, She's been happier but not in a way I would associate with boys or to do with relationships," I tell her.

"Yeah, I really am not 100% sure what's up, I guess we'll just have to do a bit out of snooping. We better hope the girls write detailed diaries," Mrs James suggests.

"I don't think that's the best idea somehow, let's just see how this week goes before we snoop through their stuff," I say.

.....

"Eden! Could you come down here for a bit?" I call up the stairs.

"Sure..." her voice echoes down towards me as her loud footsteps tramp down the stairs as she makes her way over to me.

"Has anything interesting happened at school lately?" I ask her.

"No not really," she responds. I'm going to have to dig deeper if I want information.

"You know that question a while ago about finding someone to like?" I ask her hoping she will confide in me.

"Yeah, w-what about it?" she answers with a slight stutter. She's hiding something and I need to get to the bottom of it.

"What was your answer?" I ask her as she looks up at me nervously.

"I got.... no." She delayed her answer but isn't giving a lot a way just yet.

"Oh ok, that's all I needed. You can get back to your homework now," I tell her.

"Ok... Mum," she responds.
