Chapter Four

The little town was fantastic, everything you would expect a beautiful French hideaway to be. We made our way down dimly lit cobbled streets, passing stone houses that dripped with history. A river ran on both sides of the town, hinting at its defences during medieval times when rocks were catapulted across the ravine. I soon realised why Rick came here – it was anonymous, hidden. A high bridge was the only way to access the town itself and this wasn't the sort of place that the paparazzi would even know existed, let alone make the effort to come to. If it wasn't for the luxury of a private jet, this place really would have been virtually inaccessible.

"It's the middle of nowhere,” Rick had commented. "And the centre of perfect."

I had taken some amazing photos of Rick that afternoon, doing what he did best – making music. We had laughed and kissed and drunk champagne; all the while, he gave me an insight into what his world was really like. His creative process was fascinating – just as one song seemed finished, he would tweak a simple chord arrangement or change the tempo slightly. A good song was suddenly transformed into something great. He was right. When people heard this album, Beautiful Losers were finished. He didn't need them any more.

Rick took us to a gorgeous little restaurant for dinner, a converted chapel with cows out back and fresh herbs surrounding the building. There was no menu – you simply ate what was available that evening, all of it sublime and wonderfully simple. "I hope you're not thinking of beef, Amy," he joked, "or Daisy in the field out there is for the chop."

He spoke in his best French, which wasn't very good at all but substantially better than mine since I knew none, to the people who ran the restaurant – a lovely couple in their fifties and their daughter who served as the only waitress.

"Everybody seems to know you," I observed.

"Not quite. Everybody knows everybody in this village. There's only about 25 people living here and I'm something of a curiosity. They don't have a clue who I am and if they did, they wouldn't care anyway. Life happens differently here. It's in slow motion and sometimes it's better that way."

I sipped at my Cabernet Sauvignon and touched his hand across the table. "You couldn't live here all the time though, surely. You've lived your life at a hundred miles an hour for most of the last decade."

"And that, dear Amy," he replied, chinking his glass against mine, "is why I need to slow down from time to time. But you're right, I couldn't live at this pace all the time – but right now, there's nothing else I'd rather be doing than being here with you."

Was this what they call a whirlwind romance? Was I being simply ridiculous to expect that Rick would have any interest in me after this weekend was over? He had told me earlier that his favourite song of all time was "Life on Mars?" By David Bowie.
