I must confess this is the first time i'm reading Silver Lining and I only noticed this as I kept reading and waiting for the story to begin. My bad!

I've never been a runaway partly because i'm almost certain my dad won't go looking for me lol (mum would definitely get worried tho).

I have a friend who once left the house in anger and had to come back home in the evening after weighing the pros and cons of sleeping out in the cold.

Oh I just remembered, I didn't actually runaway but I walked out of my school gate as a little child and nobody knew till my mum came to pick me up in school and I was nowhere to be found. I heard it was a crazy experience but I really don't have any memories of it apart from the descriptions my mum gave me.

Nobody wants to lose a kid no matter how old. It's a crazy experience.

Thanks for the shoutout by the way, I hope i'm able to keep up with this high level you've placed me on 😊
