Chapter 60: SOMEONE LIKE YOU: NOAH
After Maggie took off out of the room, I went after her, but I wasn't fast enough. She looked so distressed as she ran up the stairs and took sanctuary in our bedroom. Speaking from the other side of our locked bedroom door I tried to reason with her that I never knew any of what we read in the emails. I was still reeling from the news myself and had to push all of my own feelings aside because her happiness was more important than anything I was going through.
I tried hard to think about the night in question - the one in the picture and came back with nothing. Then I thought in more general terms about what I was like back then and was ashamed of how I'd behaved. I was a player, and of the girls I could remember Shona's face never appeared in any of the images in my mind's eye.
