"Suddenly I feel in need of a little reassurance. For a few moments I can't spot him, and although I keep wearing my confident smile, I feel a ridiculous panic rising inside me, like a child realizing she's been left behind at school; that everyone else has been collected but her.

Until suddenly I saw him. Standing behind a pillar towards the back, tall and dark and solid, his eyes fixed on mine. Looking at me and no one else. And as I gaze back at him, I feel restored.

I've been collected too; it's ok."
