The Passage to Mythrin 2-Book Bundle (43 page)

The familiar sounds filled Amelia with an ache of happiness. She realized, with surprise, that she was glad to be home. With even more surprise, she knew this
was
home — this, and Vancouver too.

And now I'll have to get used to another home in Toronto. Just when I've finally got used to Dunstone. What a life!

Then there was Mythrin. She looked up. A nighthawk's circling
squee, squee
came to them from above the streetlights. She imagined being that bird, soaring in the sky above the sleeping town.

So many things to miss. So many places and people.

“What are you thinking about?” Simon asked.

She looked around to find him watching her. Sometimes, like now, she had the feeling he understood her as well as she understood herself. Not that she understood herself all that well.

“Wings,” she said, and walked on. “You?”

Simon turned something over and over in his fingers. “Stars,” he said.
