Lunch at Nino after Adam's morning shift had become their routine. The place Aglionby boys flocked together were filled by town folks since summer vacation began.
"Shit!" - The boy at the table behind Ronan swore as he hit his head on the light above. Their table exploded with laughter. They were loud and triumphant and kings of Henrietta.
Watching them, Ronan and Adam couldn't help smiling. Just a few months before, this had been them and their friends. They too, were kings of Henrietta, in search for magic and a sleeping Welsh king.
The only thing that had ever made her blink away was when Adam had once encountered Ronan in the second-floor hallway. Ronan had been standing outside of his parents’ old room, one hand holding a cassette tape and the other clenched into a fist, and he’d been there for quite a few minutes by the time Adam climbed the stairs. Adam had taken the cassette from Ronan’s hand, working Ronan’s fingers loose and putting his own fingers between them.
Tdt was just like not good which imo does Not come as a surprise like I can’t sit here and say I don’t enjoy her characters however mstief was just never good at long overarching storytelling
