Well, I tried.

I remember the evening Mario showed up when we were alone at Bernard’s house. “Darlings,” he said, “I’m here to explain that there have been some threats sent to your father’s government department. Nothing out of the ordinary except that, in this instance, they’re very specifically addressed to you. Your father sent me. We’re going to keep you under a bit of surveillance.”

Adolescence gained the upper hand: I wasn’t scared, I was furious. Surveillance like no more sneaking out of Bernard’s place at night? Like no more smoking in the street? Like no more French-kissing my misty-eyed boyfriends? Or surveillance like when, sometime in the future, I’m signing a check to pay for something at the supermarket and in front of everyone the checkout girl shrieks, “What kind of a name is that? Please don’t try telling me you’re the minister’s daughter! I’ve read the papers, they only have a son”?
