Dani’s Diary
Page 17
‘It’s great to see them together, isn’t it?’ Lalita said as the grans went on ahead of us. ‘It’s kind of like—’
She stopped, looking a bit awkward. But I thought I could guess what she’d been going to say.
‘You mean, it’s almost like watching ourselves, like we could be when we’re older?’ I finished for her.
Lalita nodded. ‘Except that we’re not friends like they are.’
‘Maybe we could be,’ I said, feeling awkward too.
‘Maybe,’ Lalita agreed.
We smiled hesitantly at each other.
And you know what? I have a secret feeling that, one day, Lalita and I will be friends.
Just like our grans.
