It isn't easy moving away from all you know for half your life. But Zoran had little to say goodbye to.

Gale was all set to go to boarding school. And even Anne, from the shop, wouldn't miss him much.

Zoran had all that he needed to take with him on his journey, Babushka, and a bag of dreams to fulfill.

Zoran grabbed the metal pen between his middle and ring finger, clasping it tightly with his thumb. The tool roughed against his trembling callused hand while he quickly traced over the paper with his left palm, smudging away some of the letters. He exhaled sharply after signing the papers, and gazed over at Molly with relief, who offered him a warm smile.

"I am glad to have you work with us, Mr. Zoran," said Molly, shaking his hand.

They exited the meeting room to go around the office, and Zoran smiled at his boss, happy that he decided to go to London that day.
