Jacky looked in the mirror, not sure she was the same girl all those years ago who wanted to have purple highlights in her hair and a tattoo covering her pale skin. She remembered when she was seven, wanting a Barbie. But not the ballerina, but a vet, teacher, or doctor. She would line up her teddies and read to them as if they were children in a classroom.

She stared at her reflection.

With streaks of blue through her hair, some of it came true.

‘You’ve got this, Mummy,’ her daughter said, with an intuitive hug. ‘I love you.’
