Taking the boys hand Sarah headed in the direction Linda had taken, but as she approached a convinenvce store she realized that buying food for her family was much more important.
Instintively she lifted the boy and sat him in the shopping trolly. “I can catch up with your mummy later” Sarah told the boy happily. It was then that she noticed her hair was brown and curly hanging in front of her face,
That’s not right, she thought to herself, not wanting to worry the boy. Quickly logging on to her phone, she found all of her pictures and selfies now showing her with brown curly hair like Linda’s, but worse her beautiful big blue eyes were now smaller and brown and looked older. This couldn’t be right, but as panic grew inside her she thought of the child and pushed the feelings down. “Let’s get some shopping, what would you like for dinner today?” She asked the boy who smiled up at her.
