Kapitel 226: Book 4 : Chapter 75

Ella's POV

Half an hour after Leo left, Max came over. But this time he brought an extra visitor.

"Milly," I said hugging his now almost adult sister as she came to the door, "I wasn't expecting you."

"Max said you were in need of some cheering up," she replied. "And since he is self-aware and knows he is a miserable old git, he got me to come too."

I laughed as Max rolled his eyes, "remember when she was a sweet little girl, Ells?"

"And now look at you," I said taking her hands, "so grown up and tall."

She smiled down at me and laughed.

She was a few inches taller than me and had the most elegant figure, despite only being 17. Her eyes were large, dark and round and her hair, thick long locks of chocolate brown. She really was beautiful.

"Yeh and she has all the boys swooning over her," Max grumbled. "I'm having to fight one in particular off the doorstep almost every day."

"Oooh Milly," I teased, "looks like you have a secret admirer."
