Me and You

To my old* pal, Karen Nolan.

With love and thanks, always.

*though when I say old, she’s actually really young.

*(Ok, so maybe she told me to write that last bit.)

Hands trembling, heart palpitating, she recognised the handwriting instantly.

I’m fine. I’m sorry.

Please take care of him for me.

And maybe one day I’ll get to explain.
