Abi liked being part of a family. She had imagined it often enough. Back in America she found herself looking at other people’s babies. Not just babies, their children too, and wondering what it was like to have such a mass of noisy energy living in close proximity all the time. If a woman pushed a stroller past her in the street, she’d strain her neck, as surreptitiously as possible, to see if the baby was asleep or gurgling; did it have a pacifier in or thumb? She’d gotten into the habit of sitting near mothers and children in coffee shops. That was almost certifiable – the chances of spillages increased tenfold. What was wrong with her? She lingered outside playparks (she’d told herself she had to stop, it was only a matter of time before someone made a complaint). She thought her adult-only gym sleek and stylish – with state-of-the-art Olympic-size pool, divided into neat columns to allow the most efficient length swimming – was soulless because she wanted to see kids splash around, to make noise and play on inflatables. It wasn’t just the cute and smiley ones she liked. If she heard a baby scream she didn’t want to run in the opposite direction, she wanted to pick it up and comfort it. Once she had gone so far as to swap seats with a passenger on a flight from LA to NY to move closer to a mum with a toddler in tow.
