DO YOU HAVE SOMEONE?

«Andy especially enjoyed chatting over the telephone. He often called me in the morning before I left
for the day's round of galleries, museums and studios.  Once he asked: «Do you have someone that you always report to every day?» He didn't say it as though it were a chore, but rather a need to keep in touch. I wondered if he meant his mother rather than a lover.  It sounded so permanent a connection».
