"do we have to go back Im getting used to everyone now and I really love it here," Amara pleaded.

"I'm sorry baby we have to go home I've got a photoshoot next Monday," nina said.

"mummy please can we stay. Please, please, please can we," Amara said.

"just for one more night okay," nina said.

"yayy I'm going to Elizabeth and grandma," Amara yelled excitedly.

Nina laughed.

"So you're staying," Alex asked.

"Mhm, just the night Amara is being stubborn," I said.

"And anyway don't think you can get rid of me that quickly," I added.

"I wish I could," he said.

"Heyy," I said whilst smacking his arm plaufully.

"And anyway I wonder who she gets her stubbornness from," Alex said.

"Well not me," Nina said.

"You are such a bad liar," Alex said.

what I don't lie," she said.

"Hey I need to talk to you about something," Alex said looking seriously.

"What, is everything okay," I asked.

"If you mean Elizabeth she's fine, but it's you," he said.

"what did I do," I asked confusingly.

"Nina it's about you and Ian," he replied.

"Oh. Can you hear that, coming Mum,!" Nina yelled.

"Hey, Nina get back here," Alex yelled back, chasing Nina down the steps.

"Nina wait," Alex shouted.

Nina turned around to face him.

"I don't want to talk or think about him, please don't mention his name," I told him.

"Seriously you made me run down the stairs so you can tell me that, you could have said so earlier," he said.

"What, it was the perfect opportunity so I did, and anyway you need to work out more if you get tired running down the stairs,"

"Ohhh Burn," he yelled.

"Your not funny," I said.

"Really, don't lie Nina," Alex said.

"Okay a tiny bit," I said with a smirk.

"Hmm, only a little bit," he asked.

"yeah and I'm going to find Amara, we should all do something it's our last day here," I said.

"Mhmm, how do you know we're not going to do anything what if someone jumps out right now screaming SUPRISE! With a load of balloons," he said.

"well why would they do that, and even if anyone did you kinda ruined," I said.

"Okay.. Moody Margaret, shall we go to Secret naseleno myasto ," he asked.

" you mean the meadow and first I've got to look for Amara," I said.

"Yeah that's what I said and she's with Elizabeth," he said.

"Yeah I know that I'm going to look for them both because I don't know where they are," I said.
