I’d been to Amsterdam before, but this was a fresh start. When I left the UK, I also wanted to leave the people behind, including my ex-wife. A meeting in a department store took me beyond my comfort zone and in a direction I’d only ever fantasised about.
Instead of simply leaving my old lifestyle behind, I discovered a new character inside me. My alter-ego ached to become more dominant, and I couldn’t have envisaged how much things would change. Fantasies were becoming reality.
Danny, my boss in the UK, stayed with me for one night when he visited the city on business. He was keen to return, and I said I could put him up. Cindy and Portia, my two T-girl friends, assured me that I should enjoy whatever was to come. Stefanie, my stunning, mature landlady, knew me better than I knew myself, so it was easy to fall under her spell. I’d do anything she asked.
Was it to be, Goodbye Martin—Hello Marianne?
