Anna has spoken little to her children throughout the short journey. Her performance has been less than brilliant. Finally, when she stands with her children at the school gate, she kisses each one and hugs them more tightly than usual to steady her shaking hands. She has learned to take them in within an instant—the softness of their skin, the smell of their hair and the speed of their breath. She will carry this with her all day. Despite the restlessness and boredom, she will return to this moment, all day, and remember them just like this. As she lets go, a breeze billows the skirt line of her dress and cools her legs. Things will calm down, they always do. She waves goodbye to her children, one last time, before joining the calamity of the street.
