The Best Saturday Ever

Lily woke before her alarm.

For a moment, she lay perfectly still beneath her yellow duvet, listening to the birds chattering in the garden. A strip of sunshine stretched across her bedroom floor, and somewhere downstairs a cupboard door opened and closed.

Then Lily remembered what day it was.

Tiny snowflakes still drifted gently from the grey winter sky.

Charlie, who had...
