Wednesday morning, bright at the office after the catastrophe,

I said: What do you make of the catastrophe, Anne-Marie?

And I sipped my coffee, and opened up my emails, and so on and so forth,

until eventually Anne-Marie said from her desk:

Do you want to know something?

My name’s not actually Anne-Marie.

And I said: What?

And she said: My name’s not actually Anne-Marie. It’s Anne.

And I said: But we’ve all been calling you Anne-Marie for years.

Everyone calls you Anne-Marie.

I know, she said. But it’s actually Anne.

Just Anne? I said. No ‘Marie’ at all?

And she said: No. No ‘Marie’. Just Anne.

Jesus, Anne-Marie, I said, I can’t see you as an Anne at all.

You’re definitely an Anne-Marie.

To ye I am, she said,

but to me and mine I’ve always been an Anne.
