She could see if it might work to bring her and the bloke from America back together again."<br></br><br></br>I shook my head. "I want to visit the places in the spell."<br></br><br></br>"What? Why?" Ned asked, clearly confused. "Who do you want to bring closer to you?"<br></br><br></br>"My sister!"<br></br><br></br>Now Ned laughed. "But she lives with you. You can't get much closer than that, can you?"<br></br><br></br>"Not closer physically," I explained. "The letter says, 'it works for distance between two people in more ways than one.' Alice and I used to be really close. Like friends, you know? Now we can hardly stand each other. And I want to fix that before she goes all the way to America." I grabbed his arm. "Ned, will you go with me? Around London, and help me find each place on the list? You love a fun adventure, don't you?"<br></br><br></br>He took another sweet and popped it in his mouth. "That I do."<br></br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>Praise for <i>My Secret Guide to Paris</i>: </b>This love letter to the City of Light will have readers believing that everything's better in Paris.
