“And Holly’s already learned two tests for her agility training!” Eva rushed on with the week’s news. “The hoop and the weave poles…”

“Oh yes, you told me about that.” Jen made her way towards Reception. “It sounds fascinating.”

“I’ll just take Holly back to the house and join you,” Eva gabbled. She didn’t want to miss a scrap of information about Jen’s mega-interesting week. “Come on, Holls!”

“…So, in the end, I persuaded her,” Karl told Jen.

It was no good – Eva had been quick, but as she ran into Reception she knew she’d missed something important.

“You persuaded who to do what?” she demanded.

“Slow down, Eva,” Heidi told her through the open door of the examination room, where she was busy identity-chipping Sally and Sara, the two black and white bunnies. “One of these days you’ll bust a gut!”

“I persuaded Mia to come in at teatime today to take a look at Sara and Sally,” Karl told her.

Eva’s jaw dropped. “But I heard her say Fern would be jealous, Fern was way too precious, blah-blah!”

“You never knew your brother had a persuasive side, did you, Eva?” Heidi put the two rabbits into their cage and carried it into Reception.

“When did you talk to Mia?” Eva asked, staring at Karl.

“It was last night, after you and Annie left. We were doing homework stuff, but in the middle of maths I brought up the idea of adopting another rabbit again, and eventually I got through to her.”

“She’ll let Fern have a friend?” Eva shook her head in amazement. “Hey, Karl, that’s cool. Well done!”

Heidi laughed. “Did I hear family harmony just break out?”

“No, honestly.” Eva was excited. “We really think that’s what’s wrong with Fern, don’t we? She’s lonely. This could be the answer.”

“And here come your visitors now, by the look of things,” said Jen, who was standing by the window. She watched Mia and Carrie Logan get out of their car in the car park. “Is this them?”

Mother and daughter walked into Reception. Mia looked nervous and hung back in the porch.

Uh-oh, she’s about to change her mind! Eva thought.

It was Carrie Logan who ushered her daughter into the building. “Don’t make a decision until you’ve at least looked at these rescue rabbits,” she pleaded.

“I don’t think it’ll be fair on Fern,” Mia murmured, staring at the floor and deliberately not looking at Karl. “She wouldn’t be happy, Mum.”

“Just take a quick look,” Karl said. “Sally and Sara are right here.”

Yes, take a look! Eva willed Mia to love Sally and Sara as much as she did.

“But only if you want to,” Jen said calmly. “We definitely don’t want to force you to adopt these rabbits.”

“To be honest, I’ll try anything,” Carrie Logan confided in Jen and Heidi as Mia reluctantly stepped forward to peer into the cage. “The whole household is upset over this. First it’s Fern who won’t settle in her new home. Then it’s Mia moping and making herself ill with worry. Now my husband is grumbling and saying he wishes we’d never moved house in the first place since it’s caused so much upset.
