Imbroglio | Automaton | Tapestries  | 25 Writing Tips

Today I was lucky enough to corner David Cameron for half an hour to talk to him about recent events in his life. It’s fair to say, and I don’t think he’ll contradict me, they were catastrophic and life changing for him.

Thanks for agreeing to sit still and have a coffee while I interrogate you.

David: No worries. Although it remains to be seen what I’ll actually answer.

I can see by the grin you’re not going to put too many obstacles up. I’m going to raise Noel Valentine straight the way. Putting it mildly, your meeting was unorthodox.

David: Putting it mildly, yes. But she saved my life twice, so I can only be grateful.

Twice? I know about the car accident but …

David: The second time was after the accident, when I was hospital. Who knows? If she hadn’t done what she did I could still be there and still be in a coma. No-one mentions it but it couldn’t have been easy for her, in any number of ways but one, specifically, was that she was injured herself and what she did must have caused her pain.

You’re right, no-one has brought that up before. How did you feel when you thought she was lost? Sorry, it’s obviously something that makes you uncomfortable.

David: No, not uncomfortable … Panic … still … every time I think about it. And if I still feel that way imagine how her parents, her family, still feel.

I apologise for mentioning it. What are your plans now everything has settled down? Do they include Noel?

David: If she wants it, yes. But let’s not jinx anything, huh?

All right, let’s talk about something else. You were sporting quite a few aliases there for a while. How did you keep track of them?

David: With difficulty. Glad to be done with them and be myself again.

How are things with your mother now?

David: Still a bit tricky but at least we’re talking. I spent several days with her in the States a few weeks back and it went well. And I’m glad. I gave both my parents a hard time when I was growing up and neither of them deserved it. I’m pleased to be back in the fold, so’s to speak.

The company, Gem Techtronics, I understand you’ve been working around the clock since taking over. Are you going to be able to save it?

David: I think so. It’s looking that way. Marion’s putting her heart and soul into it too, I couldn’t have attempted it without her. But she’s got the two kids, Elizabeth and Robin, and I’ve got to keep reminding myself to let her have that work/life balance.

I wondered at one time whether you had a soft spot for her.

David: I did. And I do. She’s one in a million. She has my undying gratitude and friendship, but if you’re asking if she has my heart, no. And she wouldn’t want it. She thinks I’m dangerous!

In what way?

David: To tell you the truth I don’t know.   When I asked what she meant she just gave me that gimlet stare and said ‘You don’t change overnight’.  You’ll have to ask her.

Maybe I will.   I’m talking to her soon.  You’d led a pretty free and adventurous life before all this happened. Do you think you’ll be able to settle permanently or do you think you’ll get itchy feet again? What’s so funny?

David: Excuse me while I crack up. What’s so funny? The question. What I’m doing now couldn’t be called anything else but adventurous. It’s just a different kind of adventure and it’s exactly what I want … and what I need. I’d already had enough of my old life, that’s why I came home. Life now is exactly what I want it to be. Or almost, anyway.

You’re talking about Noel.

David: And that’s where this interview ends. Thanks for the coffee, I’ve got to be going.

I wouldn’t be worth my pay grade if I didn’t try. Thanks, and good luck. It was nice to meet you.
