Gone Missing (2007)
“We shoved all our stuff into our rucksacks and told Darcy that we were off.
“It’s for the best,” she said. “Let’s face it…you’d have had to go back sooner or later.”
“We’re not going back,” said Honey. “We’re—”
“Don’t tell me!” Darcy clapped her hands to her ears. “I don’t wanna know! It’s safer that way. Case they come looking for you…I can say I’ve got no idea where you are.”
“Oh. All right! That’s a good idea.” Honey slung her rucksack over her shoulder and opened the door. I trailed dismall...y after her.
“See ya!” said Darcy.
I said, “Yeah, see ya.” But I didn’t honestly think that I’d ever want to. Partly because she’d chucked us out, but also because I wasn’t terribly sure that I really liked her any more. She’d changed, since coming to London. In the old days she’d been fun, but now she seemed quite cold and hard. Or maybe she’d always been like that and I’d just never seen it.
Honey obviously felt that I needed cheering up.MoreLess
