Rose Beam’s Diary

18thMay 1985

Tonight Thom and I made love for the first time. It feels even too personal to tell you about, but I will tell you this: it was perfect. If I was in any doubt that Thom is the person I’m supposed to always see life with, tonight has totally changed that. Afterwards, we both cried and said that we were in love. Thom told me that when he is with me, it feels like someone turned the brightness up on his life. I love that.

He asked to meet Mum and Dad. I said it’s too soon in our relationship, although that’s not really the problem. My parents will hate him, and for no other reason than where he’s from and what he does. I’m embarrassed by their snobbery. This can’t be spoilt yet.
