Hi miss Kate :) I feel like these two would get along well. Actually, I think that if Eloise had grown up in Walcott, her and Emma would probs be besties. I have a thought (or actually two, tell me what you think):
1) What if Eloise’s uncle (many many years ago) had given Emma, Eloise’s contact info and told her to write to his niece. Like maybe he and Emma had some type of relationship and he got her to write to Eloise. But it was very very randomly because both girls were terrible at writing back until a year would pass or something. So now with Eloise coming in, she and Emma could connect?
or 2) Emma could still have been friends with her uncle and when Eloise came, the two meet and got along well? So now, Emma comes and helps Eloise with cleaning out the house and keeping her company from time to time?
Just thoughts, you tell me what you think :)
