A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Anselme, the postman brought your card on Tuesday, the one with the tram on the front, and I have read the back so often the ink has started to lift. You ask whether I have finally started going to the market in the mornings. I have. Madame Roux sells me lemons now without weighing them, which she says is a sign I have stopped being a stranger and become a nuisance, which in this village is the same thing.

Do you remember the night at the fête when you tried to teach me the waltz and I stood on your feet until you laughed? You said you would only love me if I learned to lead. I told you the opposite, that you would have to learn to follow. We were both very young and very stubborn, and I think we were both a little afraid of being wanted for the wrong reasons.

I have taken on the clock for the church in Saint-Gilles. Its hands have stuck at ten past four since the winter, and the village wants it keeping time before the bells are rehung. Father Dufour says a clock does not need to be pretty to be useful, only honest about the hour. I have laid the movement out on the kitchen table, and every wheel I lift out is worn in its own particular way, so I cannot make it match the one that came before, and I have stopped trying.

So I will not pretend to be the girl you left at the station. Come home when you can and bring the bad coffee from the tram. You wrote once, as if it were a dare, love me for who I am. Come and see who that is now. There is oil on my thumbs and too many opinions about lemons. Yours, always, Margot.
