I wish I had known you when I was Jenny Linden. But I stopped being her the moment that man impregnated me, and ruined all the plans I had for the rest of my life. I’ve mourned Jenny’s passing for many years now, but she died at Summer’s conception, and I was condemned to a life without roots.
That’s about it, then, Harry, except to ask you if you could find it in your heart to take on my darling little Ruby, and old naughty paws, Tar Baby. They need you now.
I shall always love you, and I mourn what might have been.
And don’t ever try to find me, for I shall be far, far away, and very well hidden.
Goodbye,
with all my love,
Serena xxxxxxx.
Harry Falconer let the thin sheets of paper slip from his fingers, dropped his head on to his arms, and wept.
