    Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her    53   made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54  , looked kind of teary. I knew she was   55   for me.

“What a(n) _42_ mirror! It’s the first time I’ve seen a mirror that didn’t _43_ properly!”
