"She was four years old the first time she beat me at hide and seek.

Four.

I was looking for her for hours. When I finally found her she just smiled.

You know, that Effy smile that means “you don’t know me at all, you never will”.

See that’s a kind of magic. She’s so good at concealing things, hiding, avoiding.

I do know her.

And I know that she has got so much love in her heart.

But the thought of letting it out, showing her cards, scares her to death.

I never knew it would be possible to miss someone this much."
