FAR ACROSS THE FETCH Estate, the golf cart had been parked neatly in its charging bay behind Julia Fetch’s cottage. The twins were standing near it. Slowly, Honor pressed the palms of her hands against Xavier’s and he pressed back.

Honor asked Xavier, ‘Shall we go and speak to Grandmother?’

And Xavier told Honor, ‘No. Let’s not. Not yet. Let’s do this instead.’

So they stood and pressed their hands together while the birds sang and little breezes pushed about amongst the rose bushes in Julia Fetch’s garden.
