Cold to the Touch
“Who would I talk to? They all hate me because of what I was. Why did you ever let Daddy grow such a chip on his shoulder, and then drive him away – but no, I suppose it was Life did that. Whipped butcher’s boy, wants big house, blah, blah, blah, then leaves home to die. How clichéd he was. You too, I suppose: unloved grande dame plays sourpuss. I’m sorry, I know why you do, but people could love you, you know. They did once.
I did, I do. You deserve better.
If I came back, I couldn’t even cook ...for people. They’d think there was poison in it, so I couldn’t do anything, because cooking’s all I can do. Not that it made me able to keep a man, did it? Still doesn’t. Love doesn’t work, Mums. They always love the dog best.
He would have come back for the dog. Even Jack would come back for the dog. I know I told a lot of lies, but the bit about the vicar was true. I wish you hadn’t trusted him, but then you have to trust somebody.
Hope you enjoy your view of the sea. Wonder what it’s like down there – can you hear them fighting outside the pub on Saturday nights?MoreLess
