La Fin Des Bohèmes

Maureen Johnson had to suffer.

Some could call it karmic, after the number of times she cheated.

But her ever-faithful fiancée held her hand at the consultant’s office, let her cry into her lap while listening passively to what would happen next, restrained her own tears as she helped her to cut the tangles of hair from her head, supported her through treatment after treatment after treatment.

Although Maureen had fought for her causes nearly all of her life, she finally met her match in a malignant cervical tumour.

Maureen Johnson died in agony, yet with the comfort of her fiancée’s embrace.
