François hears a knock on his door. He thinks, as he wakes, that it wasn’t real – just a house sound, like the noises that always appear in the night. But there it is again, three knocks, and the door handle to his room turning.

François, his mama whispers.

Mama? he says, and then sits up. I mean, Severine?

You should get dressed, she says.

What time is it?

Dawn.

Why are we getting up now?

We have to get to Paris.

This is it. The time has come, sooner even than he thought it was going to.

What are we going to do in Paris? he says, eyes wider. She is smiling now, peeking out of his curtains.

We’re going to get a flight.

To South America? Or Antarctica?

London first, she smiles, lets the curtains fall back but puts the bedside light on. Then, anywhere you want to go.
