The Greengrocer's Apostrophe by Alexandra Fox
‘This is a love song for my wife. Someone else would sing it better. But my love’s a silly, messy thing, the love of a daft old man.’
This could be Tom’s last love song for Linty. He met her when she was a small, strange, white-haired evacuee. She grew into a wife who turned the apples in the greengrocer’s beautifully, so each one showed its most gleaming side. Now she is a lost old woman with a soft face and faded eyes. How can he bear to let her slip away alone?
