    European sales, you remember?” I smiled. “We learn something new every day,” I said. “Go on, say something in Dutch.” My wife looked amused. “Clean or dirty?” she asked. Then she said something that was incomprehensible to me. “Which means?” “You’re the best husband a woman could wish for,” my wife said. “You’ll make me blush,” I joked. My wife looked down at the table. “I’m the one who should be blushing,” she said. Then she sighed, picking up the tale again. “By the time I turned 30, both Lulu and I were growing tired of working for other people. We set up our own company. Doing administration meant that I did fewer shoots, but we never lacked for others willing to give the business a try. We made a living, but not much more. People imagine there’s all this money sloshing about in pornography, but it’s like every business; a few huge actors and a lot of minnows. We were minnows, doing low-budget, shoestring stuff. I put all my writing ambitions to one side. I didn’t really believe I’d make it anymore, and I was making a living doing something I enjoyed. It beat the hell out of cleaning or factory work.” She shrugged. “I don’t know that there’s much more to tell,” she said. “When I was injured in the road accident and became hospitalized, it gave me time to think, and write again. I’m not sure if I would have gone back to the old life or not if I hadn’t met you when I was convalescing. In the end it all became simple. I wrote to Lulu, telling her I was pulling out of the ...

When I’d poured new mugs of tea, my wife said, “Tell me. If you’d known all this about me, would you still have married me?” This was no time for dissembling. “I don’t know,” I said. “I honestly don’t.” My wife kept anxious eyes on me. “But I do know that I’m not about to throw away years of happiness because of something that’s happened in the past. You’re my wife now, and we’ll get through this together.” Tina breathed a long sigh of relief. “So why is Lulu doing this?” I said. “Why now? Does she need money, do you think?” “You said yourself she said she wanted something much better,” Tina said. Then after a little pause, “There’s only one way to find out.” Something in her voice alerted me. “You want to go along with her demands? Why don’t you just call her?” My wife gave a little frown. “It should be easy enough to find her number,” she said. “I mean I haven’t been in touch with her for years, but I assume she’s easy enough to find.” “But you don’t want to,” I said, catching the reluctance in my wife’s voice. “I just… It wouldn’t do any good. I know Lulu. If she’s set her heart on a plan, nothing anyone says will make her stray from it.” I didn’t like the sound of that. To me it seemed very simple. If Lulu and my wife went way back, ...
