That evening when I said goodnight to Lucy she suddenly threw her arms around my neck, hugging and kissing me for all she was worth. ‘I hope Alice knows just how lucky she is being adopted,’ Lucy said. ‘I know how lucky I am to have you.’
I smiled. Two weeks previously – a year after starting the process – I had finally been allowed to adopt Lucy. ‘I’m sure she does,’ I said. ‘And I know how lucky I am to have you – very, very lucky indeed.’
