“I stop in my tracks, turning to face Girl. She is limping across the grass.
I can do this!
Reaching out, I lift her in both my arms. She straddles her legs around my waist and leans her head against my left shoulder.
Girl is heavy but I seem to manage. Finding my inner strength, I support her weight in my arms. My feet continue to pelt across the grass and onto the cement
of the car park.”
