But I do happen to have something of hers. She left behind one of those old-school disposable cameras. I've got it. It's here in front of me.So there are two things I could now do- I could develop the photos. See her again, see her life. Maybe work out a way of finding her. Find that smile. Or I could chuck it in a bin like a grown-up.I'm fairly sure one of those ideas is a good one. I'm fairly sure the other might be illegal.
