The Last Kings of Sark (28 page)

My parents. If this is a novel about only children, I am glad to be yours. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thank you for sending emails that make me laugh and make everything OK.

H – perhaps it's ill advised at this age to mention the person you love. I don't care. Thank you, forever. Right now, you're in the room next door listening to ‘Yumeji's Theme'. I think about you, and think about you, and think you're a miracle.
