TJ, Lucy, Izzie and me, squashed on a bench trying to keep warm as it was a cloudy day with a bitter wind blowing. ‘Still don’t know. I was about to go charging in to Dad and find out the rest of the story, but Mum asked me to let him tell me in his own time. Somehow I got the feeling she was right. It wasn’t the time to start demanding answers. I’ve never seen Dad like this before and it wasn’t so much that he was angry, more like upset.’ Lucy nodded. ‘I think you were right.

In fact, forcing an issue that is very painful may only make someone bury it deeper.’ ‘I guess I just have to wait then,’ I said. ‘Poo,’ said Izzie. ‘I know.’ ‘But we don’t know it was painful,’ said Izzie. ‘All we know is that something happened.’ ‘Sounds a biggie whatever it was,’ said TJ.
