The biker who broke fate Chapter 105: Three
Nora woke up on her birthday knowing exactly what day it was.Maya heard her before six, moving around in her room, talking to her rabbit about something in the serious way she talked to it when things were important. Then small feet on the landing and the bedroom door opening and Nora standing there in her pyjamas looking at them."It's my birthday," she said."We know," Dominic said without opening his eyes."I'm three," Nora said."We know that too," Maya said."Can I have my presents," Nora said."After breakfast," Maya said.Nora considered this. "Can breakfast be now," she said.Dominic opened one eye. "It's not even six," he said."The sky's light," Nora said pointing at the curtain."The sky's barely light," Dominic said."Still light," Nora said.Maya sat up. "Come on then," she said.Dominic closed his eye again. "You're making a rod for your own back," he said."She's three," Maya said. "Come on Nora."Nora came and climbed up onto the bed and sat between them and looked at
The biker who broke fate Chapter 104: Where Did She Go
The funeral was on a Thursday.Small and quiet the way Dominic's mum had been in the end. A church she'd gone to for thirty years, people who knew her from before her sons were born, a vicar who said the right things in the right order and meant them.Dominic and Daniel sat at the front.Maya sat next to Dominic with her hand in his the whole time.Nora was with the childminder. They'd talked about whether to bring her and decided not to. Too much to explain, too much to manage, and she was two and a half and wouldn't understand and that was okay. She didn't need to understand everything yet.Afterwards there were people at Daniel and June's house, neighbours and old friends of their mum's, the kind of gathering that happens after these things where people eat sandwiches and talk about the person who's gone in the past tense and it still sounds wrong.Dominic stood in Daniel's front room with a cup of tea he didn't drink and let people come to him and say what people said and nodded a

They got there just after noon.Daniel opened the door and looked at Dominic and something passed between them that didn't need words and they went straight upstairs.Maya stayed downstairs with June who put the kettle on because that was what people did and they sat at the kitchen table and talked quietly about nothing important while upstairs the important thing happened.Dominic sat in the chair by his mum's bed.She was smaller than two weeks ago. He hadn't thought that was possible but it was. Lying there with her eyes half open, breathing in a way that had a sound to it now that hadn't been there before.Daniel stood near the door."I'll give you a bit," Daniel said and went out and pulled the door.Dominic sat there.His mum's eyes opened properly and found him. Still sharp. Everything else going but the eyes still sharp."You came back," she said. Barely above a whisper."Yeah," Dominic said."Didn't think you would," she said. "The first time I mean. Didn't think you'd come."
The biker who broke fate Chapter 102: One Week
Nursery started on a Monday.Maya had been talking it up for weeks. Telling Nora about the other children and the painting and the outdoor space and the snacks which Nora was most interested in. What kind of snacks. Would there be round biscuits. Maya said probably and hoped that was true.Monday morning Nora woke up decided.Came downstairs in her nursery clothes that Maya had laid out the night before, sat at the table, ate her toast all the way to the edges without being asked, and looked at Maya."Ready," Nora said."Are you sure," Maya said."Ready," Nora said again like the question was unnecessary.Dominic drove them. Pulled up outside the small building with the painted gate and the sound of other children already inside and got out and unstrapped Nora from her seat.Nora stood on the pavement and looked at the gate.Something shifted in her face. Just for a second. The decided look wobbled.Maya crouched down next to her. "You okay," she said.Nora looked at her. "Will you co
The biker who broke fate Chapter 101: The Drive Home
Nora was asleep before they hit the main road.Rabbit tucked under her arm, head tipped to one side, out completely the way only small children could go, like someone had flipped a switch.Maya drove.Dominic sat in the passenger seat looking out at the road and the fields going past and didn't say anything for a long time.Maya left him to it.Twenty minutes out of town he said, "She apologised."Maya kept her eyes on the road. "Your mum.""Yeah," Dominic said.He said it flat. Not like it fixed anything. Just like it was a fact he was still turning over."What did she say," Maya said."That she knew she wasn't easy," Dominic said. "That she knew I got the harder end of things growing up and she wasn't going to pretend otherwise." He paused. "Said she was glad I came.""How did that feel," Maya said."Strange," Dominic said. "Like hearing something you waited a long time for and then not knowing what to do with it when it comes."Maya nodded."I didn't say much back," Dominic said. "
The biker who broke fate Chapter 100: Going Back
They left early Saturday morning.Nora was up before the alarm anyway, standing in their bedroom doorway at six holding her rabbit and looking at them like they'd overslept and the day was wasting.Maya packed the car while Dominic did Nora's breakfast and by half seven they were on the road, Nora in the back with her rabbit and her cup, already asking questions about where they were going and how long and whether there would be biscuits."Probably biscuits," Dominic said."What kind," Nora said."Don't know yet," Dominic said."I like the round ones," Nora said."I know you do," Dominic said.Maya drove. Dominic's idea, said he'd rather look out the window than watch the road, and she understood that without him having to explain it further.He was quiet most of the journey. Not the bad kind of quiet. Just inside himself, going through whatever he needed to go through before they got there.Maya let him.Nora filled the silence from the back seat without any help, talking to her rabb
