Bewitched, Bothered, Bewildered

It's fair to say that Eloise Auclair, the lovely, adorable, Eloise, his words, has Bewitched Kenver MacDonald to the point in their relationship where Kenver feels the need to explain to her the existence of three particular friends in his life. It's pivotal if their relationship is to continue. He can only hope that she'll understand which is more than Kenver has done. Hence the reason he's Bothered. Kenver's also totally Bewildered by all that's transpired over the last six months for, after all, he had managed to reach the age of almost thirty with nothing exciting ever having occurred and Kenver had been happy with that.

That, of course, was before his eventful trip to Singapore, his meeting with three famous, albeit dead, writers, Miller, Maugham, and Kipling, and the very much alive, Angelique Dubois who'd fed Kenver a spurious tale that he couldn't help but fall for.

Do the dead trio exist, though, or does Kenver just think they do? His head has physically hurt as he's tried to disentangle the rational from the irrational, the logical from the bizarre for it's a fine line that divides the sane from the insane as he's come to know. Most importantly, however, what will Eloise think when the tale has been told?
