Cassandra is sitting at the kitchen table, her hands wrapped around a mug of tea. It’s an attitude that Nelson recognises from his own daughters: body hunched forward, jumper pulled down over the hands, hair hanging forward over the face. It’s a stance designed to say ‘treat me gently, I’m very sensitive’.
