‘No, but one is enough for me. Joe said they told the audience where I’d gone and why, and they applauded. We’ll start work again as soon as I return. So you see, I’ve suffered no harm.’
‘What about the film part?’
‘Well—’
‘Oh, no!’
‘That’s gone to the other guy. But who cares? I still have the series. And I have you. There’ll be other film parts. But there won’t be another you. My darling, try to understand. I’ve made my choice and I won’t regret it. At least, I won’t regret it as long as you stay with me, and love me.’
‘Do you doubt that?’ she whispered.
There was a strange look in his eyes, a mixture of teasing and adoration.
‘What is it?’ she asked.
‘I was thinking that if Joe was here, he’d want you to say something nice to me. You wouldn’t like to do that, would you?’
She considered. ‘I might. I could say that I love you, that I’ve never loved anyone in my life as I love you, and I know that I never will. You
are
my life. I can have no other, and I want no other. I’ll stay with you for ever, loving only you. And when the end comes I hope we’ll still be together.’
She reached up to touch his cheek. ‘Do you think that will do?’
He smiled, taking her hand and brushing it with his lips.
‘That will do perfectly,’ he said.
