Cynthia nodded, excited to see her mother again. As they walked, Cynthia pointed out the stall where she had found the necklace. Suddenly it made her sad. "I wish I hadn't put the stupid thing on in the first place."

"You'll get used to it" Emilie reassured her.

Cynthia sighed and carried on walking. It wasn't too far from the market-place to Cynthia's home and she knew the way better than anything. She had been going to the market with her mother ever since her father had died and there had been no one else to look after her.

Emilie looked around, apparently in wonder, at the familiar setting. No doubt the hustle and bustle of the market was as noisy as ever, but this time it made no difference. The smells in the air were the same, though they seemed more pronounced this year. Perhaps her remaining three were making up for the lack of the other two. She pondered on this for a moment as they walked.

Cynthia directed Emilie through the streets of her home town. Twisting this way and that, Cynthia made her way to the small house that she shared with her mother. She pointed up to a lock on the front gate that she couldn't reach, and asked Emilie to unlock it.

Emilie did so, just as she had done the year before, and the year before that, and ever since she'd been tall enough to reach it. She opened the gate and allowed Cynthia through first.

Cynthia walked slowly through the gate and up the path to the front door. She looked at the brown wooden door and knocked gently. After a few seconds, the door opened a little and a woman, who looked remarkably like Cynthia peeped out. Cynthia smiled broadly at the woman. "Mother!" she yelled, pushing the door open. The woman stood back and let Cynthia in, "Cynthia, I've been worried sick. I'm glad you're home!"

"See, safe and sound" Emilie smiled, though it wasn't clear if she was talking to the girl or the woman.

Cynthia ran forward and hugged her mother. before turning back and smiling at Emilie. "Thank you for bringing me home!"

"Told you I would, didn't I" Emilie smiled, but the smile was a sad one. She knew what was coming next.
