Can I Touch Your Face?

A group of school children run round the playground shouting 'Dead mum, dead mum.' Six year old Seb Winter hides in the toilets to escape - he had been unwise enough to tell them that his mother had died. It was his first lesson in the realities of life. Now aged thirty he avoids difficult situations by employing a mixture of white lies, omissions and evasion. It seems to work for him. However, when Alice wants to marry him he really should have mentioned the fact that he was married already. But since he had not heard from or seen his wife for nine years, why complicate matters? Then out of the blue he gets a letter from his ex asking to meet up. He really should tell Alice now - perhaps not exactly now, later will do.
