The situation
On the way home, a group of kids started a game: darting across the busy road between cars, timing it as close as they dared, laughing harder the nearer the cars got. They called it brave. They turned to a girl called Bea — her turn. Cars were coming steadily, fast. Stepping out at the right "gap" would make her one of them. Her legs felt like lead.
