SwynWriMo Day Twenty-One – Back to the Future Thread
I Can Hear the Bells *** [Clopal]
It was summertime in Swynlake, which was Opal's favourite time of year. She might've been born a winter baby, but summer was where she shined. Between the summer musical and horse riding through Enchantra until the late-setting sun went down, not to mention the strawberries--how could you not love it?
And another constant about summer?
Cousin Claude came to visit.
Opal abandoned her bike against the side of the porch of Bonfamille manor, wedged between the brick and the bushes. Nounou always got after her for it, but she didn't care.
She skipped into the foyer. "Claude!" she called, twirling and the tilting her head to see if she could hear. There were voices coming from the sitting room, so she took off in that direction.
"Bonjour, mon cousin!" she chirped as she burst into the room. "T'ai-je manqué?"
"Did you leave your bike in the bushes again?" Tonton asked her from where he was sitting in one of the arm chairs but she ignored him to lean to kiss her cousin's cheeks.
