When she got home, her stomach was grumbling. A few chocolate biscuits did not a dinner make. She turned on the TV and went into the kitchen to pop a Lean Cuisine in the microwave. She was starting a diet, another one of the zillions she had secretly tried over the years, but this one was going to work because it was about time, she decided.

Time to change her life.

If her mother was alive, she’d have known how to diet and do stuff like that: the thought flew unbidden into her head. And just as quickly, she stamped it out.

No looking back and getting miserable. Not now, not ever. Her mother had been wonderful, or so Dad said, but she was in the past, killed in a horrific traffic accident when Ginger was a baby. Aunt Grace had been all for counselling when the three Reilly kids were in their teens:

‘Do you good. You have to let go of grief. Some things, we have to let go in life,’ she had said with the same imperiousness that would have made her a fabulous Roman empress.

‘We’re fine,’ Ginger said hurriedly in later years when Grace came back to the subject. Keep moving on – nothing to see here.

Declan and Mick remembered their mother, but Ginger had been too small when she’d died. She only had the photos to remember her mother by and she had enough complexes without adding to them. No thank you, she was doing fine.

There was only one thing Ginger wanted to let go of: her extra weight. If she got thin, everything would be fine.
