Chapter 78
"So, how was anyone's day?" Naboo asks as we begin to eat.
"Strange. Very, very strange." I reply slowly.
"Why?" He asks with a smile.
"My sister turns up, completely out of the blue, and hugs me, then slaps me. Then she tells me that, not only will she be working with me, she'll be moving in with me. Then she cooks." I turn to Noelle. "It's lovely, by the way." I say before continuing. "Then shouts at me. Then she hugs me again."
"That does sound strange." He agrees, the smile growing.
"Vince have sister?" A stunned voice interrupts.
"Yes, I don't believe we've met. I'm Noelle, Vince's little sister." Noelle replies. She's so…calm. So collected. So unfazed.
"I Bollo. I Naboo's familiar." An equally calm, collected, unfazed voice says.
"Pleased to meet you." I watch this exchange, completely bewildered. I turn to Howard.
"Am I the only one who's totally, utterly, lost and confused?" He looks back, mirroring my own expression.
"No, totally, utterly, lost and confused seems about right."
"It's good, though. They seem as though they'll get on." I say. He nods in agreement.
"That is good."
