Moya. The M Word. Whisper it. Conceal it. But please, never mention it...
Maggie Yates talks to her best mate Moya every day.
She tells her about Maggieβs mum losing her job. She tells her that Mumβs taken to not opening the curtains and crying in secret. And she tells her about how she plans to cheer Mum up - find her a fella with a bit of cash to splash.
Moya is with her every step of the way. Youβre surfing a rainbow if you think someone like that exists round here, she smiles. But Iβll help.
But at the back of her mind Maggie knows that Mumβs crying is more than sadness. That there are no easy fixes. And that Moyaβs not really there. Because though she talks to her every day,
