Maddie nodded keenly, 'it's so strange' she acknowledge to her brother giving him a half hug. 'This is like to be the last time I'm in the school for a very long time.' she laughed, her tone genuinely mirthful and amused, but also a little sad. It was the end of a part of her life that had seemed so big and important at the time.

'What's your plan now that you are a gentleman of the world?' she thrilled for him, she had no doubt he would get the grades for whatever he wanted to do, but she realised she had no idea what her little brother wanted to do in this world. It had been almost question for the eldest 2 - with Rye and Maggie there had been almost no question of what they would end up doing with their lives. Maddie had certainly struggled to find her own way in the world and how she intended to spend her life. 'So what of your plans little brother? Now that you're graduated' she joked to the much taller sibling. He did look very dashing in his dress robes.
