Marla and I hugged as we split up and went to our separate cars. I was playing with my new necklace and deep in thought.

"A penny for your thoughts, young lady."

"Oh it's nothing, mom. Not really. I was just thinking about everything and how everything happened and I just sort of got lost in my thoughts."

"Like what, dear?"

"Well, if all of what happened in the past, didn't happen, and I started to grow breasts, what would you have done?"

"I would have taken you to the doctor and had you examined."

Mum left the door ajar and I could see them through the crack. I stood still and looked in the hall mirror. I looked OK but not perfect. We should have come on a better day when the weather was warmer. My legs were cold and my tights felt damp. My nose was red with the cold wind outside. No wonder girls are always turning up the heating in the office and wearing cardigans.
