Eighteen, nineteen…
Olivia counted children and congratulated herself on saving the petting corner for last. Her young pupils were entranced by the lambs.
But someone was missing. Olivia looked around and identified the absentee. No surprise it should be Abby Maitland. She was an engaging child but wayward.
Just as Olivia was about to mount a search Abby let herself through the gate.
“Where’re you been, Abby? You’re missing all the fun.”
“I saw a lizard,” explained Abby.
“And that’s better than lambs?” teased Olivia.
Abby nodded.
Olivia smiled “So you’re a lizard girl?”
Abby did not smile back. “Always.”
