… and when I opened the cupboard door … by Romola,

At seven o'clock in the morning, Leigh-Ann drifted wearily down the stairs. The 17 year old's parents left a note saying exactly this; Dear Leigh-Ann, please make sure your brother gets to school safely. 
There was milk in the refrigerator and when I opened the cupboard door there was some cereal. We had to leave early to get to London in time for my interview. See you soon love mum and dad. Her parents had not left any money. Leigh-Ann went and got Oliver, her 4 year old brother and nipped out to the shop. Oliver got to school safely, but Leigh-Ann was almost late for school...
