I do not get it now. Nobody would get it now. You’re not making any sense.

      Very kind of you, want me to come over anyway? I could distract your dad with questions about military arms.

      He was clearly referring to Dog’s size.

      Hang on. Better not come over yet.

      Dad wants me to log off. He wants to ‘have a talk’ about something ‘very important’. He’s been acting so weird the past few days.

      Anyway I’ll be back on in about half an hour and will let you know.

      Love, me xxx

      Hey, Anna - just wondering what your dad had to say? It’s been a couple of hours so checking everything is OK.

      Plus, I’m really bored. Why is there so much vocab in the French language? Surely we don’t need to know this much if we ever go over there, right? We’d only need to know ‘croissant’ and ‘non’ to get by, I’m pretty sure of it.

      So why am I learning the French translation of ‘antler’?

      When am I going to be in France talking about antlers? Our school is so strange.

      Me again! It’s been a while now - what’s going on? Is everything all right with your dad?

      I’m worried.

      I haven’t heard from you all night. Something’s happened, hasn’t it?

      WHAT IN THE WORLD HAS HAPPENED?
