‘That’s very kind of you… thank you Miranda.’ He could hear her moving around in her kitchen, and Marcus sat on the sofa and let his head rest back, and his eyes close for a little while. He’d missed Miranda today, after spending so much time with her recently and the way she had been, when he’d first heard about his father… It was as though she had taken all of his fear and pain, and just absorbed it into herself, sending back only calm and reassurance. At a point when he had been unable to function… to think or to act — for himself or his family, Miranda had stepped into the breach, and had guided him along.
