And if that were the case, then she would see how much it really meant to him that she was being such a good friend. He'd never really been close to anyone, and these kind gestures meant more to him than words. It was all he could do to stop himself from choking up a little. "So your parents are okay with that? Us staying with you?" He didn't want to accept any invitation or get his hopes up if Selina's parents weren't in the position for two children to move in with them during the summers.
Selina wiggled uncomfortably under the praise. She had never done well with it and right now she was getting way too much praise for her own comfort. "Right, well, um thanks."
When he asked about her parents she said, "'Course. You didn't think I would invite you without asking first? My Mom said and I quote,
If you even think about putting anyone out on the street Selina Arden you'll be out on the street yourself. I don't think she was joking. If worse comes to worse my Mom said that you two are welcome at my place. I mean it would be in our broom shed, but it's big enough for you two. It has three rooms in it so you and Elyie would each have a room and an extra room to hang out in."
