‘No Mum, I’m going to get dressed and go round to see Millie.’
‘Was she with you?’
‘Yes.’
‘Did they hurt her?’
‘No.’
‘Well, that’s good, at least. I’ll go down and start some breakfast for you.’
‘Mum?’ George stopped in the doorway to his room. ‘Can you prevent Dad going after them?’
She shook her head. ‘Nothing will stop him on this. It’s like I’ve always told you, Georgie. Your dad loves you.’
