She was interviewed in the January. She said she had been told, in the August, that our marriage had been over for two years and that we were living separately for appearances until after his appointment.
None of that was true. We had been on holiday in the July.
She resigned in the February and has gone to a competitor and I have deliberately not followed it.
She wrote to me once, in the March, and it is four lines and it says she is not asking me to believe her and that she would like me to know she did not know about the dress until the day, and that she was told we were separated, and that she is sorry.
I have not answered it, and I think about answering it roughly once a month, and the reason I have not is not pride. It is that anything I write will read like a very rich woman being gracious to a twenty-nine-year-old, and I have not worked out how to avoid that.
