Then she went to the prison to see Sarah. The man took her to Sarah’s room. Anna and Sarah sat at the table, and the man stood and watched.

’It wasn’t a very good day, that’s true,’ Anna said. ’But you have a very good lawyer, you know. The jury likes him.’
’But it doesn’t help,’ Sarah said. ’There was heroin in the toothpaste tubes, and the tubes were in my bag. What can Mr Cheng do? The heroin was in my bag, mother! The jury knows that!’
’Mother, I love him! I said that in court. You heard me. And Hassan loves me, too! And he does not buy or sell heroin! I ...’ Sarah stopped talking, and put her hands on her stomach.
