A Voice Like Sandy Denny's

A Novella: Chapter One

If you don’t mind, I have something I want to say — or need to say. Need is probably a better word to describe it. There’s a huge difference between ‘need’ and ‘want’, don’t you think? Remember when we discussed this? You once told me I often confused the two, and perhaps I did. A man in love is always confused and I was most certainly in love with you. Very much, Alice. I think you knew this but I don’t know how much you truly understood the extent to which I was. Look at me — was. I still am in love with you and I don’t think anything will ever change that.
