C and I met at work. A few months later I read out to him a sequence from Thus Was Adonis Murdered. He borrowed it. Julia was so obviously what all of us (sadly) are, dearly though we'd love to be Selena. (The author is Sarah Caudwell -- read her books!)And then we became friends. His niece was two or three by then. In the course of describing his days (Little Theater, cats, etc) he'd tell me about her. Her birthday parties. How she reacted when her parents separated. What she was doing schoolwise.
This year, Grace graduates from college.
