One of the reasons Jack and I fell in love as hard and fast as we did was that we had both been inculcated as children with a sense of doom so total that even the moments we should have counted as triumphant – a single taking over the radio waves, coming home late from awards shows with heavy statuettes, the chance to make the art you’ve always dreamed of – seemed destined to be accompanied by dangerous if as yet unforeseen consequences. But for the moment, we were just two very lucky little babies, clinging to each other for dear life.
