“He wants me to sing, doesn’t he?”

George looked over at Flora, who smiled broadly.

“It would appear so.” She gave the little boy an affectionate look and, once again, George was struck by how readily she opened her heart to a child who needed it.

Pierre tugged at his hand. “J’enseigne!”

George looked at Flora for translation.

“He said he will teach you.” Her words came out with a slight giggle, like she found the prospect delightful.

Fortunately, almost every child probably knew the familiar folk song, or at least that was what George thought. “I don’t sing as well as you, but I think I can manage.”

He began to sing the first few bars, then Flora and Pierre joined in.

Maybe it was wrong of him to think so, but as they strolled through the crowded area of the mine, holding hands with Pierre, who was exuberantly swinging his arms, probably in hope that they’d pick him up and swing him between them again, this felt like everything he’d always hoped for in a family of his own.
