After a lot of back and forth and pleading from Lisa, we were given permission to go on our own without the parents, as long as we took (and looked after) my sister.
We readily agreed and when the day came, off we went to the show.
My mom was sceptical but Lisa’s mom said Lisa was ‘an old pro’ at getting around the capital and we would be fine.
The journey from where my cousins lived to the theatre took about an hour and involved two different bus routes.
The show was spectacular and when it was over, we ducked into a restaurant for some food.
When we finished, we went outside and Lisa said we’d have to hurry to catch our bus home.
We raced to the stop, but in our haste, we became separated from each other.
