I don't know how I know but all I know is that I do. There's something in my brain that's tugging for attention, a memory that's trying to resurface.

A minute later I have it. The lavender deodorant. That's why it smells so familiar.

I can see how Josh tried to be clever. He must have seen a bunch of lavender stalks and scattered them after him, since he knows our thing with lavender will not be forgotten.

I can't help blushing.

We return back to the river. Mum seems a bit unsure that we actually found the trail but I tell her I'm absolutely certain that this was them. Who else would have scattered a bunch of lavender flowers deliberately?

I lead the way this time, smelling powerful smell of lavender, which only reminds me of our goal. To find the others.

I don't know why but I reach into my bag and pull out to the spray. I look at the purple metal container and uncap it before pressing down hard on the nozzle and more scent sprays into the air.

"Stop that," my mother mumbles. "Maisie's asthmatic, remember?"

I slip the lid back on the bottle again. "Oh, yeah. Sorry."

But the whole way I'm smelling what will lead me to those melting chocolate eyes.
