                choose the life you want.’

                   ‘ at sounds good.’
                   ‘But  you  don’t  have  to  have  this  worr y  for  a  ver y  long  time.  You  are  going
                to have a life full of exciting adventures. ere will be so many happy things.’
                   ‘Like camping!’

                   A  burst  of  warmth  radiated  through  Nora  as  she  smiled  at  this  sweet  girl.
                ‘Yes. Like camping!’
                   ‘I love it when we go camping!’
                   Nora’s  smile  was  still  there  but  she  felt  tears  behind  her  eyes.  is  seemed

                a good life. A family of her own. A daughter to go on camping holidays with.
                   ‘Listen,’  she  said,  as  she  realised  she  wasn’t  going  to  be  able  to  escape  the
                bedroom      any   time   soon.   ‘When   you   have   worries   about   things   you   don’t
                know about, like the future, it’s a ver y good idea to remind yourself of things

                you do know.’
                   ‘I don’t understand,’ the girl said, snuggled under her duvet as Nora sat on
                the floor beside her.
                   ‘Well, it’s like a game.’

                   ‘I like games.’
                   ‘Shall we play a game?’
                   ‘Yes,’ smiled her daughter. ‘Let’s.’
