Sirius: [laughs] That’s true, but your mom isn’t here right now, is she? Don’t you trust me?

Provence: Hmmm… let me think about that for a minute.

Sirius: Oof… 

Provence: I guess I trust you. Are you going to be here to get me after school?

Sirius: Promise. Right at this spot. 

Provence: [hesitates] Do…do… you think you can take me to The Bay after school?

Sirius: That’s a long side trip after a long day. Are you sure you’ll be up to it?

Provence: Yeah… I just… I miss Soliel.. and Halloween. They were the only things good about my last school.. .and if this school is the same… it would just be easier if I had something to look forward to. 

Sirius: We can do that. I’ll let your mom know that we’ll be home tomorrow morning. That way you get more time.

Provence: Really?

Sirius: Really.

Provence: You’re the best! Thank you!
