Forever Phoenix Read online

Page 17


  I walk up the long gravel drive alone, and I can’t help remembering that chilly day when I pitched up from Bellvale with a wicker cat basket and a thick layer of dust and ashes stifling my soul. So much has changed since then.

  The Lost & Found are on the edge of something awesome – fame and fortune and a possible number-one hit – but, no matter how successful we get, I don’t think I will ever be happier than I am right now. I have the coolest boyfriend in the world, the best friends, a magpie pal who thinks he’s a phoenix and the maddest, loveliest, most messed-up family ever … who knew?

  Anything is possible if you spread your wings and fly.
