Gran was standing at the door, smiling wildly at me. "I have to go Matilda, can I leave young Ella by your side until I return back from my meeting", asked Dad. Gran clasped a hand on my shoulder. "Yes Jason, I was thinking of going shopping for you know what, but it can wait", she replied beaming at Dad. Dad looked down at me and mouthed. "Be good".
"Don't worry, Jason, young Ella is always good and sweet, always making my friends go argh". (Gran is the best at reading lips). "Come inside Ella and I'll make you a cup of hot chocolate".

When Dad left I had Gran to myself. I had so much question's to ask. Dad seemed to be th only one to mine ( and the men in suits, too). "Gran". I said cautiously. "Where am I".
"I was hoping you would ask that", coughed Gran. "Well, your parents jobs are".
" Nurse and Builder".
"Wrong, your parents are spies".

Will continue soon...
