Cedric hesitated. "Stewart said little Mario called him this morning, asking if he and Nina could go to the amusement park together and ride the Ferris wheel. He saw on TV that you can make a wish at the top."

Briony was quiet for a moment before answering, "I don't mind where they go. You can come by Skybreeze Retreat for the kids tomorrow."
