NICK had to wait on the doorstep until I came home when he returned from school,he had forgotten his key again. NICK and Ross then dashed to the travel agents to change their money.The long awaited holiday to Portugal was almost here. His case was packed and he was ready to go. Their flight was early the next day so he was staying at Ross's house that night.
" Laters" said NICK giving me, his mum, a high five. "Give your mum a kiss" I said, so he did and I waved him off, not knowing that was the last time I was to see him.
