en Ash came over, with his gardening gloves on. ‘You okay, Nor? You
seem a bit pale. Did anything happen?’
‘Oh, I’ll tell you about it later. When Molly’s in bed.’

‘Okay. Oh, there’s a shop coming any time . . . So keep an ear out for the
lorr y.’
‘Sure. Yeah. Yeah.’
And then Molly asked if she could get the watering can out and Ash

explained that as it had been raining a lot recently it wasn’t necessar y,
because the sky had been looking aer the flowers. ‘ ey’ll be okay. ey’re
looked aer. e flowers have water.’ And the words echoed in Nora’s mind.
ey’ll be okay. ey’re looked aer . . . And then Ash said something about

going to the cinema tonight and how the babysitter was all arranged and
Nora had forgotten completely but just smiled and tried really hard to hold
on, to stay there, but it was happening, it was happening, she knew it from
within ever y hidden chamber of her being, and there was absolutely nothing

she could do to stop it.
