She had chosen to give hers to Luca when he was born and now the younger Bronwyn didn't let them go even if you tried to wrestle them from him.
He offered a little more bread to the owl, smiling a little more and even taking a few leaves from under it's wings. There was nothing worse than something attacking you in the armpit repeatedly.
"Of course I remember. I've been to your birthday parties. I know your friends." Yum yum cheese puffs. HIs his his.
"It's okay! Just remember that this is our little secret." His stuffed turtle and blanket were never to be discussed ever again.
'Let's just shake on it." He offered his hand that still had bits of scone crumbs on it to Rooney. He even offered him a smile.
"I think we should do a hand shake of sorts for keeping secrets. If someone doesn't do the special secret handshakes then obviously you just can't tell them." "Okay great. He doesn't talk very much, but it's because he's shy and stuff. But I'm sure you know that." It still sucked that Rooney AND Casper had started school before. Technically Casp was only a few months older than he was.
