'C'mon,' she said. 'Let's go and get our daughters.'

The train was pulling in as they walked into the station. Suddenly the platform was full of squealing, shrieking teenagers, spilling from the carriages, pushing and shoving and generally larking about. Claire scanned the crowd for Georgia but at first couldn't spot her among the crowds. And then she saw her walking towards the barriers and she caught her breath.

'Mum! Mum!' Georgia saw her too and waved. Robyn O'Malley beamed widely as she caught sight of Leonie.

Claire couldn't quite believe it as Georgia walked towards her. It had only been a month and yet it seemed to her that her daughter had practically grown up overnight. The long red-gold curls that she'd left Dublin with were gone, replaced instead by a shorter, straighter haircut which emphasised Georgia's long, slender neck. Her jeans were hacked off at the bottom in what Claire realised was the current in-fashion look, and she couldn't help feeling that Georgia had probably grown a couple of inches too, because despite the fact that she was wearing vibrant-yellow flip-flops (new, Claire noted), she seemed to tower above Robyn.

'Would you look at the hair,' muttered Leonie. At first Claire thought she meant Georgia's, but then she realised that Robyn had had hers cut too. And that Robyn's was coloured with purple streaks.

'Hi, Mum!' Georgia flung her arms around her. 'It's good to see you again.'

'You too,' said Claire. 'You're looking great. I've missed you.'
