Dandelion Clocks (2013)
“The road is still wet, though, and I can hear the squelching sound of the tyres as we speed back towards our house. I really like that noise – for some reason it reminds me of getting up in the middle of the night to go on holiday and falling asleep in the back of the car, wondering where we’d be when I woke up.
I wish I could fall asleep now and wake up when today is over. In fact, I quite like the idea of escaping altogether and waking up tomorrow somewhere completely different. I wonder if t...his would be any easier if Mum’s things weren’t all around us and if we were somewhere that nobody knew us. Maybe it would be worse.
We’re nearly home now and I know that I have to be brave for this next bit. Dad didn’t want to invite people back to our house after the funeral – he thought it’d be too much for Isaac – but Leah persuaded him. She said that lots of people cared about Mum and that they need a chance to say goodbye to her. Then she said that people want to help and that he, Dan, shouldn’t be so proud.MoreLess
