My heart fills with love for Audrey and her easy understanding and wisdom. “I know, but I’d prefer to have their approval.”
Pointing a red nail at me, Audrey says, “And that’s why you’re my favorite.”
“Only until one of Nori and Shinsu’s four shows up,” I counter. “Or our whimsical little kraken, Noelani.”
“Don’t forget about Rory,” Arran says. “Audrey’s always cycling through the eight of you for top spot.”
Aunt Beryl and Aunt Calixta adopted Rory when he was three, and even though he’s the only full human amongst us, we all know he’s actually Audrey’s real favorite. Only because they both have an equally dry sense of humor.
Soon, the castle fills with all eight of us nieces and nephews, and I’m once again reminded why I love this town so much.
Even if I move away, I’ll always find my way back to this island.
Starry Hill will always be home.
