We returned to Rhyl and waited outside the church. TPR, HJ, SL and I expected to see DE as soon as the service ended.

As soon she emerged through the church door, I sidled up to her to say hello. She was simultaneously surprised, delighted, and confused.

She handed her blond-haired baby boy over to the care of TPR so that she could sit down a bench on the cliff and recover from the shock of seeing us all again.
