After all, mum, I’m twenty-two!” Just then, my father came downstairs, looking relaxed as he always did after his Sunday afternoon nap. I had chosen the moment carefully. “Clive wants to leave home. He doesn’t want to live with us any more,” she told him in a trembling voice. My father’s expression changed. “What? You aren’t serious, are you, son?” he asked. He sat down at the table opposite me. Perhaps my parents wouldn’t have reacted in this way if they hadn’t spent all their lives in a small village in Wales. And perhaps my mother in particular wouldn’t have been so possessive if her only other child had not died as a baby. I tried to explain to them that the bank I worked for had offered me a chance to take a job in their head office. But I didn’t dare to tell them that I had already accepted the job. “London’s a long way away. We’ll hardly see you any more,” my father said. “I can come back at weekend, dad.” “I don’t know son, I don’t know.” He shook his head and then got up and walked out into the garden. My mother and I sat there at the table. In the silence, I could hear the old clock ticking away in the hall. There were tears in my mother’s eyes. I knew she was going to put pressure on me to give up the idea, I wondered if I could stand up to it. I even began to wonder if it was wrong of me to want to leave my family, the village and the people I had known all my life to live among the English in their cold, strange capital. She put her hand over mine. “Your father hasn’t been well lately. Neither have I. You know that. But we won’t stand in your way if it’s really what you want,” she said. 71.
