die?! 

Joshua squeezed her hand. No. The doctors will save him.” 

Neither of the kids had any real understanding of death

It was just something they saw on the TV

But the serious looks on the adultsfaces gave them a bad feeling

Jennie had no idea what happened

One moment, she was squealing in delight as the train reached the top and started its fast dive

The next, she was buried in Daddy’s arms and couldn’t see anything else

She heard a muffled groan

Then a thud 

The next thing she knew, she was sitting up on the floor, with Daddy lying underneath her like a cushion

Kira stared at the closed double door of the operating theatre

She had not moved since the doctors wheeled Austyn inside

Luca and Isabel were saying something, but she heard not a word

It was all she could do to remain on her feet

If she moved, she was going to collapse

The pungent smell of antiseptic brought back waves of traumatising memory

She hated hospitals

She lost her father there

She was afraid of losing Austyn, too

The sight of him covered in blood was something she would never forget 

As minutes, then hours, passed by, Kira made a deal with herself

If Austyn pulled through this time, she would forgive him

The past was no longer so important in the face of death

All she wanted was for him to be alive and well 

Kira, he’s going to be fine. Isabel finished talking to the kids and came back to stand next to her friend
