POV Roger. 

On December 15 we come to Truro for the happiness of our family. My mother and my little sister were missing a lot. I am also missing a lot of them. The women in my life. Of course there is a third woman on my list, Yasmin. My mother prepared a dinner with everything I like, with great affection. I had dinner with my mother and sister. We talked about many things, life in London, the college, the work of my mother, the studies of Clare. I wanted to know every detail of what had happened in these three months I was missing. Clare said that Michael had visited three times in the three months and she welcomed, although still a little upset. I remain adamant. I want to distance Michael. Damn, I can not forgive him. I do not hate my father, but the hurt is still great. I hope one day I can get over it. I told them I'm looking for a job, because I want the faster my financial independence. I learned from my mother that our King's Lynn relatives spend the New Year's Eve with us. I was very happy. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day pass with the family of Yasmine. 

After long conversation with my mother and sister went to my old room. I entered it and was tidy. There were several items of clothing stored in the wardrobe that had left here for when I came here it also had some sneakers and shoes. I smiled, remembering with nostalgia of my childhood and teenage years I spent here. Only there was in the wall posters, took it all to London and musical instruments as well. Just let my ukelele and an old guitar in my old room. My drums, guitar and electric guitar were already in London. I grabbed my old guitar and started playing the chords of the song Strawberry Fields Forever Beatles and sing. When was the end of the song my sister was leaning against the bedroom door and clap your hands for me. 

- Rog, how beautiful. - She smiled sitting next to me in bed. - You every time passing sings and plays better. His voice is beautiful my brother. 

- Thank you, my little princess. - I smiled back kissing her forehead. - Want me to play a song for you, sister?

- Okay. And you help me to sing too, okay? 

- Combined.
