Unrequited love? Not above half a dozen times a year, I don’t suppose.
Weaveworld’s Suzanna Parrish, Flick Carter’s orphaned self, Trinica Dracken with her fractured mind, Diana Villiers unable and unwilling to commit.
Ethereal, earthy and wronged Liza Hempstock.
Not so little Cottia, for whom I yearned over a hundred pages.
Wonderful with the stubbly, scarred scalp.
Lady Door, Portico’s opal-eyed daughter. I still carry such a torch for her.
Sky… baby to grandmother, I was devastated when she died.
Wendy Darling, my first ever love when I was younger than half her age.
Luthien, barefoot under the stars, little, dark Morgaine…
I’ve hardly been faithful.
