My Tango With Barbara Strozzi
“But is love enough? Do I want to spend the rest of my life with a guy who writes boring? I’m trying not to be a talent snob but I’m not sure he’s got what it takes to come up with an interesting book. Sticking with him through weeks and months and years of boring would be really heavy work. When I rejected Brian and he asked me if I could do better I said, ‘Maybe I already have.’ But have I? Brian has talent and he’s getting better all the time. He’s fun to be with and he makes me feel good. I ...like the kind of person he is and he likes the kind of person I am. That can’t be bad, can it? He’s taller than I am too.
I was thinking these thoughts (and feeling guilty) as I lay in bed with Phil beside me. I could tell by his breathing that he wasn’t asleep either. I was still awake when the Underground started running and the room got light. I guess we both got some sleep then, and around seven Phil got up, went to the bathroom, showered and got dressed. I followed him, and in due course we appeared in the kitchen, kissed each other good morning in a small way, and had orange juice, toast and marmalade and coffee.MoreLess
