Chapter Twenty-Two

BY SIX O’CLOCK MOST people had begun to drift off, making their excuses for why they couldn’t stay overnight. June thought of her own home, with its comfortable bed and a microwave lasagne-for-one waiting in the freezer. Then she spotted Stanley sitting in his chair, looking exhausted.

‘Why don’t you go home tonight and get some rest?’ June said to him.

‘Thank you, but I’m not leaving this place until the council assure us it’s safe.’

‘Mum, can I stay?’ Chantal asked Michelle, who was trying to coax her three-year-old twins into the buggy.

‘If the others don’t mind. But don’t you dare cause any bother.’

When the last visitor had gone, June locked the front door.

‘Well, this is the motliest crew of protesters I’ve ever seen,’ Mrs B said, looking from Stanley to June and Chantal.

They began tidying up the mess from the day. Once the library was looking a little clearer, June pulled out her phone and typed a message to Linda, asking her to feed Alan Bennett. A minute later, a reply popped up.
