ОглавлениеOmri locked his bedroom door behind him and went downstairs.
It was Friday night (luckily, or he’d have had homework, which he wouldn’t have been able to do). His parents and Gillon were watching television. Adiel had gone out with friends.
“Mum, d’you remember Patrick?” He spoke very casually.
“Of course I remember Patrick.”
“He moved to the country.”
“I know.”
“I saw him last week.”
“Where?”
“Outside school. He said his mother had come back for a visit.”
“To her sister, I expect.” His mother turned back to the set.
“Her sister? I didn’t know Patrick had an aunt!”
“Don’t be silly, of course you did. She lived three doors down from our old house.”
Omri frowned, remembering. “With those two revolting little girls?”
“Tamsin and Emma. Bonkins or something. Donkins. They’re Patrick’s cousins.”
“D’you think Patrick might be there?”
“You can soon find out. I’ve still got her phone number in my book. It’s on the hall table.”
