Chapter 36

°Harriet

Ella is already dressed and I'm just putting my shoes on.

"Do you have your candy bag, Ella?"

"Yes, were." She says and holds up a plastic pumpkin with a friendly face.

My heart bleeds a bit because of the fact that I didn't dress up as a blood covered something on the on day of the year where its suitable, but I don't want to scare Ella or Theo.

I laugh sheepishly, when I think about how I persuaded Theo to wear a specific costume and more because what kind of costume Fynn has to wear because of that.

I take my car keys and we both walk to our driveway.

"Come here, little worm." I say and lift Ella... no pardon Elsa into her child seat. "Are you looking forward to eat a lot of sweets today?"

"Mommy, sawd two."

"Then we have luck that mom isn't here or?" I say and tickle her belly.

°^°

We're arrive at Fynn's entrance gates.

"We'll pick up a friend and his little brother, okay?"

"Yeeeeah!" She screams.

Ella is a very sociable and extroverted person. I hope she isn't the scariest thing for Theo today.

I drive excitedly along Fynn's unnecessarily long driveway.

I know that when I see his how he is dressed up, I will laugh for sure.

I park my car at the indicated place and let us out of the vehicle.

The front door opens and a white painted Theo, with an orange nose and big black buttons on his t-shirt comes rushing at me.

"Hello Itsy Bitsy, or should I rather say Olaf. You look super cute." I say and give him a big hug.

"This is my sister Ella." I say and point to the Elsa double next to me.

She walks to him and gives him a big hug as well.

"Yow Olaf. I lowe Olaf." She says and giggles.

Theo looks at me a little scared. I take Ellas arms and release T from the bear cuddle she gave him.

"Come guy let's go into the house until Fynn is ready."

Theo hasn't said anything yet and I'm afraid that he is completely overwhelmed.

"Are you excited to go trick-or-treating." I ask him.

Theo has my left hand in a death grip and Ella swings my right arm forward and backward while we three walk to the front door of the house.

"Finny said I'm allowed to eat all the candy I get today." He says in a quiet voice.

Big mistake Hensley, he will be on a sugar rush all night long

I'll bend down a bit and whisper in his ear.

"I will give you some of my candy as well." I say and Theo looks at me with sparkling eyes and a small smile.

We are in the hallway and I take Ella's shoes off.

"Where is Fynn? He wrote me he is almost ready, shortly before we left."

"He's upstairs in the bathroom." Theo says. "Can we play in my room?"

Before I can answer, Ella jumps up from her sitting position.
