Prologue
Louis and I were sitting in our new tree house. Our mums were sitting in the gazebo laughing and drinking tea. Louis and I were fighting over who could make the silliest face. I kept going, even though I knew I was going to lose. Louis always made the best faces. Then I fell over laughing at the last face he made.
"Yay! I win!" Louis shouts as he jumps up from the floor.
"Fine, I give up. You do win," I tell him.
He does a little dance and starts heading over to the door. I follow, watching him climb down the ladder and run over to Johannah and Mum. I hear him announce his achievement and see him smile proudly. He's so full of himself. Not really.
I climb down the ladder and jump of the second to last step. Louis turns around with a mischievous smile on his face. I know exactly what it means.
"Era!" I stop in my tracks as Louis shouts out my nickname. He tackles me with a hug and we roll around on the grass as we laugh. We lay there laughing until Mum calls us in for a nap.
