[Cormac]
You find Cormac splashing water over his face and hair by the pump—a boy with his father's height and striking dark red hair, but lean where Terry is paunchy. As he turns, you find yourself looking into very brilliant green eyes, all the brighter in his pale, slightly freckled face. He has evidently overheard Maire's introduction.
"So you're English, are you?" he asks you, his expression ambiguous.
"Yes. Although my father is Irish."
"Is that going to be a problem?" I square up to him, looking him in the eye defiantly.
"Fuck no. I'm a Londoner. I'm not English."
