Chapter 120

• Kyle finally got to try the Mojito sorbet, discovered that his co-ordination didn't quite lend itself to waterskiing, but riding a jetski was a lot of fun when you kept the nose up. All too soon though, they all trooped back up to the main house, got changed and met up for dinner.
• It felt like the end of something significant in Kyle's life as he sat down at the table with his sisters, his friends and their 'extended family' as he'd come to think of them. Connor appeared eventually, staying only long enough to offer a toast in something Gaelic that none of them could understand, then disappearing again with a grin that left no doubt what he was up to.
