<strong>John Cooper</strong><br/><strong>Location</strong>:Pairs, At a water fountain near a park<br/><strong>Tag</strong>:Emily<br/><hr/><br/>Listening to her, John felt his heart go out to her. He knew she had had a hard time when they first got to Paris. Most of them did… Reaching over to rub her arm, “I’m so sorry… I wish you had told me before. I guess I forgot that some of you had real families.” Looking at her, he let his hand drop to hers, “My family life was so bad I never once looked back… It’s why I walked out of counciling in the first week.”<br/><br/>Giving her a warm smile as he spoke in English, “Mag…Emily…” he gave her a wink at the slip, “You and I went through hell… I know the others went through a lot that night too, but they could never understand what happened to us… I guess what I’m trying to say is that you can always trust me. I would never tell anyone anything. It’s one reason I have never told anyone about your little friends.” Switching back to French, “Don’t tell the others but I don’t trust this godmother or the council either. Dark… Light… So many people are trying to force us into something, and I don’t like that. I think we just need to keep faith in ourselves and our little oddball family.”<br/><br/>Thinking for a minute, John’s gave her had a little squeeze, “Emily, I know this has to be hard for you. I wish I could do something…” he stopped. “Now I’m not sure how we can do it… But how would you feel if we tried to find them? It won’t be easy and it will take time… If you want my help that is…”<br/><br/>
