Dev, the lift in Harrow Court has been broken since Tuesday, so you will have to take the stairs up to the fourteenth floor with that box of your nan's tins, and I want you to stop at every landing and breathe like you mean it. Don't argue. The man from the council came round with a clipboard and a face like wet cardboard, and I told him exactly what I thought of his lift.

Your dad would have carried the box up in one go and complained about it the whole way, but he's not here to do that now, so it's down to you. You are taller than him by an inch now. I measured you against the doorframe on Sunday with a pencil, and you looked at the line like it had personally offended you. I didn't say anything. I just wrote the date next to it.

The thing I keep meaning to tell you is what the woman in flat 9 said when she saw you carrying my shopping bags on Thursday. She said, "That lad's got a face that means business." I told her you were soft as butter. She laughed at me. Between you and me, I think she was right, and I think you know it too.

So here's what I'm asking. Go up those stairs with the tins, and when you hit the fourteenth floor and your legs are shaking, remember the pencil mark on the doorframe. Be badass, love. Not loud about it. Just keep going up.
