Estelle and Norah bumped into each other outside the greenhouse. Norah came running, her forehead covered in sweat and panting, “Where did you go? I’ve searched the whole garden for you!”

Estelle pointed casually, “I saw a patch of peonies over there, so I stayed to look for a while.”

“I thought you went to the study. It was my uncle who told me you were here.” Norah grinned, looking all innocent and sweet.

“No worries! Since we’re here, let me show you the greenhouse where my grandma keeps a lot of rare and unique flowers that my uncle collected from different places. They’re so cool, I bet you’ve never seen them before.”

“Sounds awesome!”
