The compass is back in its box. Same house, but in a different room now. It hasn’t been here before but the vibrations it’s getting are positive. Underneath the leather case is a note. It’s short and to the point.
Dear Isaac
I haven’t the need for this beautiful object any more, but I think you may find it useful for a while. Treat it with care but never, ever let yourself rely on it completely. When the time is right, be sure to pass it on.
Good luck with your next steps, conquering the shiny world of high tech games, and always believe in yourself. Give my love to Polly and Reg, and to Peter when next you see him. We’re a new sort of family now, and that makes me very happy.
With love,
Mum x
A glittering future is out there for the taking. The new owner might need a nudge to find and hang on to it, but that kind of challenge is exactly what the compass was created for. Lucia Lemon has found her own freedom, and Isaac’s is just around the corner. The best is yet to come.
