You can say that she was beautiful and intelligent. She loved
Mozart and Bach and the Beatles. And me. Once, when she told me that,
I asked her who came first. She answered, smiling,‘Like in the ABC.’
I smiled too. But now I wonder. Was she talking about my first name?
If she was, I came last, behind Mozart. Or did she mean my last name?
I came between Bach and the Beatles. But I still didn't come first.
That worries me terribly now. You see, I always had to be Number One.
Family pride, you see.
‘Love means you never have to say you're sorry.’
