The Memory Game (18 page)

‘I… I don’t
understand.’

‘Neither do
I
,’ she says. ‘Perhaps we’re not meant to.’

Together, we
look down at her lying under the snow.

‘So, what now?’
I ask.

‘Maybe we’ll
just hang out here until whatever is supposed to happen next happens.’

‘What do you
think that is?’

‘Maybe your dad
and my mum will come and get us now.’

‘Do you really
think that’s what is going to happen?’

‘I don’t know.’
She shrugs. ‘But we’ll find out together.’

And she grips my
hand a little tighter.
