It was just after five-thirty as I gently closed Nathan’s bedroom door and crept down the corridor back towards my bedroom. As I turned around to close my bedroom door after me, a slight noise further down the corridor drew my attention. Jackson’s bedroom door had opened and he was standing in the corridor.

Nat’s standing there, looking at me. Those big sparkly amber - hazel eyes. I’ve forgotten what I was going to say. I don’t think I actually knew what I was going to say. Words didn’t come into it. Well, not my words anyway. But Elizabeth’s words were still ringing in my ears. ‘Punch him or kiss him’.
