Summary: June reflects on her situation.

One more day. When they take it all away from you all you want is to have it back for one more day. I won't be greedy, you tell yourself. One day to have the ones you love back with you again is all you need. Just enough to help you carry on again tomorrow.

And then you realise that it's never enough. When you had everything you wanted nothing, and now that you've got nothing, you want everything. All those days you took for granted and now they're gone.

But my daughter is safe, and that's what matters most.
