Just before seven pm, Hamish woke up on his bed.

A good job he did, too, because wasn’t there something he was supposed to do this evening?

Oh, yeah! Star Wars with Dad!

He bound down the stairs, thrilled.

‘I fell asleep!’ he yelled, excitedly. ‘Hey Jimmy are we gonna watch Star Wars?’

Dad was in the kitchen with Mum. He was cuddling her and telling her she was the best, and she was laughing and cuddling him back and saying he was silly.

Hamish rubbed his eyes. Man, he was tired. How long had been asleep?! That was the problem with Christmas. It was over before you knew it. Seemed like only minutes ago they’d all been walking to the school hall to sing that awful song!

Hey, look – he was wearing Dad’s Explorer. He’d forgotten about that present.

‘Yo, bro,’ said Jimmy, giving him a hug as he settled down on the sofa next to him. ‘Sorry I didn’t get you the telescope you wanted.’

‘Sorry that you stink,’ said Hamish, laughing, as Jimmy ruffled his hair.

Some people don’t like it when life is just normal. Hamish did, though.

‘I’m just popping out,’ said Dad, grabbing the car keys from the bowl by the window. ‘I’ll get us some crisps and ice cream.’

The boys cheered at this. They looked up at their dad in the doorway.

‘Love you, Dad,’ they said.

‘Love you, boys,’ said Dad.

And Hamish and Jimmy sat there on the sofa, cuddled up with Mum, as the door gently closed, and the sound of Dad’s car began to fade into the night.
