It\u2019s dark inside but for a shaft of moonlight shining through a gap in the shutters, which have been left slightly ajar, casting everything in a pearlescent glow. Usually I\u2019m a little afraid of the dark \u2013 it always feels slightly spooky \u2013 but tonight the moonlight makes it feel almost enchanted.<\/p>\n

Closing the door behind me, I make my way further inside the main drawing room, retracing the steps Emmanuelle would have taken after her first chance meeting with Henry at the caf\u00e9. My mind flashes back to the letters, how he talks about walking her home. After saying goodnight, maybe she even stood by this window and watched his departing figure, I reflect, glancing out at the street below, at the yellow circles of light being cast from the streetlamps onto the cobbles.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quiet, there\u2019s no one around, apart from a stray cat that makes its way stealthily in and out of the shadows. I can picture Henry now, hands in his pockets, smile on his face as he walked home on air, bathed in that happy glow you get when you\u2019ve met someone you\u2019re crazy about. And Emmanuelle, intrigued by this writer from Brooklyn, secretly hoping he would contact her, gazing out into the night.<\/p>\n

Just like I\u2019m doing now, over seventy years later. I turn away from the window. Here alone, without Harriet and Xavier, it\u2019s just me and the ghosts of the past. Slipping off my shoes so I don\u2019t make a noise on the parquet floors, I pad quietly through the rooms, careful not to disturb anything. I notice a few things have been moved and Harriet has left a few files, but mostly it\u2019s still as it was.<\/p>\n

Overhead the chandelier rattles, the crystal droplets making a faint chinking as they swing back and forth, and my heart skips a beat. I glance around me, half expecting to see someone, but there\u2019s nothing. It must be just the neighbours upstairs.<\/p>\n
