My friends were the rowdy trouble making types, and soon started to make a scene at the park where we had been walking. I noticed Grace drift off from...the group and go towards the lake. I hung back with her, trying to think of something to say to get her talking, when suddenly she broke the silence: “How come you’re with me, shouldn’t you be over there trying to grope my cousin” she said, gesturing over at my friends, who were tickling Ella as she squirmed and squealed. “Actually I prefer.
