If there are any kids- both big and small- who don't want to be alone right now, I'm making hot chocolate and blanket forts in the dining room.

Also, bring a blanket.

Miss Alice, I have a secret too. [She lowered her voice.] I don't know I would be as happy if you weren't here either. I'll say something and it's wonderful to be instantly understood. [The other adults and children meant well, but Alice was well aware she was an odd child. She got told it often enough that she assumed it must simply be a fact.]

[ "Then I'm glad I'm at least doing something good," she almost says, but decides last minute that that might just be a little too dark to say to someone as sweet and pure as her younger self. So instead she just says: ]

I'm glad.

[ And she does mean that. ]

Now, shall we go sit down somewhere here? Perhaps I get us a cup of tea. [ Just to make things feel a bit more normal after today's crazy happenings. ]

I shall never say not a cup of tea. [Alice would never call it a "cuppa" her mother would have been absolutely aghast at the slang.]
