“I thought that was it. The one with Dan. But it wasn’t.”
“No, it wasn’t. But that is just one of your possible lives. And one into infinity is a very small fraction indeed.”
“Every possible life I could live has me in it. So, it’s not really every possible life.”
Mrs Elm wasn’t listening. “Now, tell me, where do you want to go now?”
“Nowhere, please.” “Do you need another look at The Book of Regrets?”
Nora scrunched her nose and gave a minute shake of her head. She remembered the feeling of being suffocated by so much regret.
“No.” “What about your cat? What was his name again?”
“Voltaire. It was a bit pretentious, and he wasn’t really a pretentious cat, so I just called him Volts for short.”
“Sometimes Voltsy, if I was feeling jovial. Which was rare, obviously. I couldn’t even finalise a name for a cat.”
“Well, you said you were bad at having a cat. What would you have done differently?”
Nora thought. She had the very real sense that Mrs Elm was playing some kind of game with her,
but she also wanted to see her cat again, and not simply a cat with the same name.
