Burning Bright
“Dad explained that Gemma hadn’t been well recently – the same problem, he said, that had made her ill and prevented him from visiting us a few weeks ago. I got the strong sense that there was something important he wasn’t telling us, but he kept saying it was nothing to worry about and, to be honest, my mind was still all on Flynn. I was starting to regret having left my phone behind. Not that I wanted to call him – but I didn’t have anyone’s numbers stored anywhere else, so I couldn’t speak to... any of my friends, either.
Gemma was sitting outside in the sunshine, waiting for us. She and Dad had a quiet word then Dad made some sandwiches and took me and Stone off for a long walk. Stone grumbled about it but I was quite happy to be outside. Dad’s at his best in the open air – and, unlike practically everyone else in my life, he never pushes me to talk about stuff when I’m not ready.
By the time we got back, I’d resigned myself to not having my phone.MoreLess
