She did it every single time they were out. Sometimes, to add insult to injury, she mentioned how hard it must be on Mel to have to miss al the important moments in her daughters’ lives. ‘I’m not getting at you, Mel, when I say this,’ Lorna said with al the inevitability of thunder fol owing lightning, ‘but it must be so hard for anyone who has to go out to work. You do miss so much of their lives. ’ asked Mel, ready to do battle. ‘Lie about when the child has taken their first steps or whatever,’ Lorna went on blithely.

With one last tug at the tourniquet-tight bit cutting into her thigh, she smoothed down the fabric of her plum-coloured skirt - last season Zara, designed to look like Gucci - and raced out of the loo to the mirrors, where she hastily combed her short blonde hair with her fingers. Her roots had grown beyond the boundaries of good taste and were teetering on the line between funky and couldn’t be bothered. Another task for her list. At least she didn’t look forty yet, which was handy, because she had neither the time nor the money for Botox.

In that moment, Mel thought her daughter looked old and knowing, as if she could see the exhaustion and guilt in her mother’s eyes, and knew that Mel would have done anything to be in two places at the one time if it would make Sarah happy.
