Day 40




The plane landed and everyone secretly sighed a silent thank you. Prayers, hopes, wishes – whatever – had been answered. She waited for the seatbelt light to go off and for the others to jump to their feet. 

Mobiles on, pick up limousines and dutiful parents manoeuvre into line. Luggage gliding by and people holding small bits of cardboard above their heads. ‘Dobson’ ‘Khan’ ‘Kennedy’ and ‘Banks Family.’ She searches the cards and faces.

Ms Challerton. Aha. The taxi driver had confirmed her existence.
