The Lake House
“An announcement advised of a person under a train at Goodge Street station so she took the Piccadilly line all the way to King’s Cross. A pair of lovers travelled in the carriage with her, pressed together at the end amongst other people’s suitcases. The girl was leaning against the boy, laughing a little as he whispered in her ear.
Alice met the eye of a pompous-looking man opposite. He raised his brows sniffily at the pair, but Alice refused to ally herself with him and looked away. She r...emembered love, all-encompassing, young-people love, even though it had been a long time since she’d felt it. There was beauty in love like that, just as certainly as there was danger. Love like that made the rest of the world disappear; it had the power to make even the most sensible person take leave of her senses.
Had Benjamin Munro asked Alice to die for him that summer she was quite certain she’d have done so. He hadn’t, of course, he’d asked very little of her as it turned out.MoreLess
