Chapter 7 The Castle And The Cold

• "Hey, sweetheart. Mummy is here. Everything is going to be alright. Stop crying. Here is ice-cream. You want ice-cream don't you?" Lucy kept trying to stop Scott from crying with little chance of success.

• When she got home that night, she fed him biscuits and cuddled him to bed before stepping out to be alone.
