She wasn't even fourteen yet and these boys had just up and appeared and kissed her and tasted better than candy...
She wrinkled up her nose and let go of Kayla, continuing with the flouncing and winding up in an empty compartment, probably belonging to someone who'd vacated it merely to get candy.
"It would be easier," Cela noted, "If I could just stay exactly the same forever." the way her brothers wanted her to stay.
Raising an eyebrow at Cela's sudden change in demeanor, Kayla continued up the train still holding the younger girl's hand. "Yes I do" she agreed. "And you know you can finish that sentence if you like, I will answer you honestly." She had no secrets from any of the Toussaints.
She followed Cela into an empty compartment and sat down opposite her. "Yes it would but life is never easy Cela." That one she could testify too. Kayla leaned back in her seat and watched Celandine carefully. "You're going to have to grow up one day Cela and your brother..."she stopped for a moment..."brothers are going to have to get used to that. I know that they love you very much but I think its time they loosen the leash a little so to speak." And that included her as well, Kayla wasn't always going to be around to keep an eye on Celandine.
