Long ago and far away, there was a man she cared for and who cared for her. She sometimes remembers him, especially when she is in the company of her daughter, Jude. It occasionally occurs to Alice that Harald will appear out of the blue, and she wonders what would happen if he did. But for the most part her work absorbs her, sometimes too much.
