Gillian went through life in a constant chase for change, for love, for movement. She aspired to a state of genuine crescendo, each day higher and brighter and louder than the last.
That’s what being with Jimmy had been like. It could never remain static, it would always escalate. He would always escalate. But then there was the letdown, the anticlimax, tricking her into pondering whether that would still be better than stagnation.
He nearly, almost made her lose the taste for it. For change and brightness and explosive colour.
Only almost. Sally and Gillian refused him that much power.
