What? What’s happened? Are you okay? Where are you?

No response.

Oh God.

I feel my Prosecco start to climb back up my throat and my mind starts swimming with worst case scenarios. My baby sister, injured in a ditch somewhere, alone and afraid.

Eliott

Leanne

Leanne

A paragraph of about one hundred praying emojis come through next and I resist the urge to hurl my phone at the wall.

Leanne is seventeen and enjoying her last summer before she starts university in September and barely two days can pass without her hitting me up for money, a ride, or some other kind of favour.

Eliott

Eliott

Leanne
