Sorry for the wait.
Syed's POV
Our daughters had an inset day at school. Christian and I had both had to work so we'd left Yasmin babysitting Mia. When we'd come home we'd found the house empty. It wasn't like them just to wander off. I kept pacing round the room, imagining all sorts. What if they'd been kidnapped? What if they were hurt? What if…? My thoughts were interrupted as Christian walked into the room looking confused but not worried.
"Have you spoken to them?" I asked.
"Yeah"
"Well where are they?"
"Walford"
I stared at him.
"Walford, why would they go there?"
"I've no idea Sy. Yas only said that they'd be back soon and we shouldn't worry."
"It's a bit late for that! What was Yas thinking taking a six year old half way across the country without even asking us? I hope you gave her an earful."
"I did and she's sorry. She's probably just curious, wants to know more about her family. It has been years since she's seen them Sy."
Years, I couldn't believe it had really been that long, but he was right, it had been years. None of my family had even seen Mia since she was a baby, when we'd first adopted her when Yas was eight. Now they were fourteen and six and if my family saw them now, they probably wouldn't even be recognised. How had we all lost touch for so long?
"When did she say she'd be back?" I asked.
"Apparently there in a taxi right now, should be about an hour."
"Right" I said "I'm definitely going to be here when they arrive. I've got a lot to ask them."
Please review and tell me what you think.
