    calming down but I don't remember what happened after. Why did I end up in the road?” “When I reached out to brush the hair from your face you suddenly changed.” My father took up the story. “You seemed to think I was going to hit you and you said you would kill me if I harmed anyone. You pushed me away and ran outside. You were waving your arms about as if trying to push past people who were not there and you ran out into the road just as Doctor Harlow arrived. Fortunately, he was almost stopped when you ran into the front of his car. You frightened us half to death, Sweetheart.” “Frightened you!” Doctor Harlow cut in, “How do you think I felt?” “Oh, please don't make me feel any worse than I already do,” I pleaded. “I'm sorry, Honey, just kidding around,” he apologised, “But we do need to consider where we go from here. The matron here will telegram your airline first thing tomorrow and postpone your departure until we decide what to do.” “No! You can't do that!” I blurted out. “Staying here would be wonderful but I can't. I have to go home and try to get back to normal.” There was a deafening silence in the moment before I continued. “Please don't think I am not grateful, I truly am, more than I can ever explain.

I don't know if I can go back to my life as it was, in fact, I know I can't but I must go home and find a way forwards, as far as I am able, alone.” I looked around the room at those five faces listening carefully to my every word. “You do understand, don't you?” I asked them. Still, there was silence until it was broken by Doctor Harlow. He sighed deeply. “Well, Karen, I guess you know what you are doing. You are right though. Your physical injuries are healed... and the bruises will be soon too,” he added, raising an eyebrow and smiling slightly, “So, sure, maybe now is the time to try to live again.” The others all nodded their agreement. “I'll be okay,” I assured them. “I know you are here for me and I will return when I can...” I paused, “If you want me to, of course. I have brought you a lot of trouble.” Both Pascale and Dominique protested in unison. “Of course we want you back, You are like our sister now!” I noticed a furtive glance and a smile exchanged between my dad and Françoise. “It seems to me,” I said with a smile, “That maybe, I actually will be your sister someday.” “Well let's not jump too far ahead, young lady,” my dad said with a smile but I ...
