“I closed my eyes, drew back the curtain
To see for certain what I thought I knew
Far far away, someone was weeping
But the world was sleeping”

3am.

Rooney was aware that Christmas was mere days away, and the toddler was waking up every day at this time in case Santa came early. Tonight, Santa hadn’t come and it definitely wasn’t Christmas.

There was screaming and shouting in the hallway and lights were on.

“They were children!” Mama shouted.

Roo wasn’t sure that Mama or Daddy knew that he could see everything. He could hear her crying and him apologising. He could see the police holding Daddy’s arms behind his back and arresting him.

“Baby, forgive me!”

But Daddy, why?

All he wanted to see was Santa.
