“Seems I haven’t forgotten how to look after you,” says mum jovially as she does up the tapes.
Mum helps you down when she decides it’s easier to get your pants back up if you are standing, and then does up the shoulder straps. She zips up for jacket and then she plants a kiss on your forehead.
“There, all done.”
You give her an embarrassed but happy smile before she pulls you into a hug.
“I was really scared, you know,” murmurs mama as she gives Lucy a sideways hug.
On the lift up the mountain, both mama and Lucy look hurt at Lucy’s telling off.
“I don’t want to see you hurt, sweetheart,” she continues. “Neither does your mum or you sister.”
