Ruby’s scarf rubbed the top of her nose to the point of distraction. The beanie keeping it in place was annoying her as well, it was too warm to be so wrapped up, but she had to keep a low profile. As they approached Westminster she was worried one of her Mother’s work colleagues would spot her and grass her up. Cal walked next to her, beautifully bare-faced and beaming that incorrigible smile of his, his hand firmly holding hers. They were a definite ‘thing’ now, whatever that meant. It wasn’t like any of her family had met him. Just the thought of Cal and her parents made Ruby feel queasy. Oil and water didn’t even cover it, more an uncontained oil spill across the ocean.

Between them they carried a banner Ruby had made that morning at the squat. They were putting her artistic talent to good use these days. She had met Calder outside St Paul’s where some protestors had set up tents and been living for a few weeks. On the steps of one of the largest and most famous cathedrals in the world it was like the circus had come to town providing a show for the open-mouthed tourists queuing to see inside. Villages such as these were popping up in capital cities across Europe and they were getting featured on the front pages of newspapers worldwide. They were on the cusp of something big.

When she had unrolled the banner, the sophistication of its design had garnered lots of positive attention. Cal had been visibly proud of her but more importantly she was proud of what she had achieved. She had properly felt a part of things. Now her banner was one of thousands being held aloft. A sea of people rippled with bobbing slogans. And Ruby and Cal were right in the middle of things.
