She can read it in the lines, engraved by time, on his face. He’s lived a hard life, this man, standing before her.
“What happened to you?” she asks and he looks at her suspiciously.
He doesn’t recognise her, of course he doesn’t - they’d never met, this man and she.
Still, it’s too hard to hold her tongue when it’s a different past that she remembers. “You were someone special, once.”
“It started a long time ago,” he says. She can hear the defeat in his voice, even though it’s cracked with age. “Night of the London Blitz.”
Oh, Jack…
