• "you were a song in my head, the warmth of the sheets in my bed. a story forever told but never old, a warm arrival never left so cold..." Laura's so down right now. Tom left for university on Saturday. They're usually inseparable - they have been since last summer. They're not just girlfriend and boyfriend, they're best friends. I think I'm allowed to say this, as her sister, but he's so right for her. Since they met last year, she's come out of her shell so much -- she's stood up to the best friend that bullied her for 10 years, she's made a tonne of new friends. I love it. And it's so hard to see her sad right now. Mum's away this week, Dad's away tonight...I'm a good hugger but I'm not good at much else. She came into the kitchen about an hour ago, and I could tell she'd been crying. I asked her if she was alright, and her face just crumpled and she basically jumped into my outstretched arms. I want to cheer her up, but nothing is going to fill that Tom-shaped gap unless it's him, and he's next coming home in a month. Until then...I've told her to take things one step at a time. Tonight we're watching Along Came Polly while she gets on with her Economics work, and then I'm gonna run her a long, hot bubbly bath. I want to help her, she's honestly one of my best friends. I hope it gets better for her.
