I peeped in through the window, the one in the top of the
door. To see you and let the adults know I had arrived to collect you. It was
busy, children inside, parents outside and the bottleneck at the door. You
stood quietly behind the other children, hugging your superman costume to your
chest. The too big coat from the Samaritans shop made you look even smaller.
Your face worried, bottom lip tucked under, I waved but you were looking the
other way. As you turned to the door I made sure to catch your attention. Your
face lit up as you ran straight through the jam and into me for a big hug.
“Did you have a lovely time?” I asked
“Yes”
