The One We Fell in Love With
“The mountains are lush at this time of year, the ground thick and leafy with ferns. There’s no snow on the pine trees, but the branches still droop downwards as if laden with weight. They remind me of melted wax dripping down a candle.
The glacier is dirty grey and dusted with shingle, very different to the Bossons glacier, which is icy blue like Remy’s eyes. But you can just make out the ice underneath, rolling like a huge frozen river down the mountain.
We caught a gondola to the bott...om of the glacier and then walked down hundreds of steps to the grotto, which is sculpted fresh out of the ice every summer. The tunnels are lit with colourful light displays and along the way there are whole rooms carved out of the ice, with chairs, tables and frozen-solid beds in them. It made me think of Rose – she loves that sort of thing. But Eliza would probably like it too.
On the way back up the steps, I was laughing, telling Remy about that time when the school bully, Danny Riley, grabbed me and asked me if he pinched me, would my sisters feel it?MoreLess
