"Please James, I miss them" Poppy whispered into his ear, her bright copper curls brushing his cheek. James groaned in frustration he had been telling her all day that she couldn't visit her mother. Telling her they wouldn't accept her. She was dead, after all they had buried her for god sakes and now Poppy wanted to turn up on their doorstep as if nothing had happened.
She lightly kissed his cheek trailing down to his jaw line. Trying to persuade him. She knew what James was thinking, but it would be alright if her father explained things to her mother first, which he would, she had already asked him.
"Poppy what if some one from the town notices you" James said, looking into her bright green eyes willing them to understand how stupid this idea of hers was. "I've already explained that to you, don't you listen? Dad will bring them over here" she told him, beginning to loose her patience with him.
"And how exactly will he bring them over here?" he asked. "I don't know" Poppy looked confused. She didn't actually know how he was going to get them here, she just knew he would.
She could feel James searching her mind. "What are you doing" she asked, guarding him suspiciously. 'You spaced out, I was just seeing what you were thinking' she heard him say in her mind. 'Oh' she replied the same way.
'So can I see them' she asked mischievously. He looked at her, at her cute little pixie face staring up at him. 'Yes' he whispered, his defences breaking. Poppy's eyes glinted with triumph.
She quickly jumped up from him and in a sudden rush dashed towards her father's study to tell him of the news.
James watched as she bounced up and down on the balls of her feet. Marvelling at how much energy she had. It had been a week since Poppy had persuaded him that it was a good idea for her and her Mother to meet up. Through he still had his doubts.
Suddenly the door opened. Poppy suddenly froze, then spun around to face her mum.
