There must be something in Sara’s voice, because Alice puts down the knife and places Millie’s bowl on her tray. As Millie starts happily making a mess, getting more of the cheese on her than in her mouth, she walks around the table and wraps her arms around Sara. It's one of the first times they've really touched and it makes Sara’s heart skip a beat. She can't help wrapping her arms around Alice and clinging desperately, because this is all she has left. No tears – she'll never admit to any – but there is a mysterious dampness on Alice’s shirt.
