There was an official period of mourning. We all grieved for our aborted holiday. Our holiday that would never have the chance to exist. The memories we would never have the chance to acquire. It was Tiffany whom it hit the hardest. She had told everybody in her class that she was going abroad. The shame would be almost too much to bear. She moped in the sitting room, unable to give up the dream quite yet, and flicked once again through the brochures, looking at the hotels we’d never see, the swimming pools we’d never swim in.

“Mum? Where’s the guidebook?”

“What guidebook?”

“The one you went to borrow the day Rebecca got appendicitis.” But Planet Doreen wasn’t receiving her. She was in the kitchen, rocking back and forth on her chair, smiling to herself.

Tiffany gave up and went to her room. I stole the bottle of Ambre Solaire from my mother’s wardrobe and hid it underneath my bed. Neither of us would ever forgive Devon.
