Because I really like Alan Rickman, his delicate voice makes me lust after him. It's a pity that he is no longer in this world, so I can only immerse myself in missing him in the novel. I had seen the short clip he shot in 1993, Fallen Angels, which was inspired by Murderer. In the first scene of the clip, the hero (played by Alan Rickman) is holding a glass of red wine and the sun shines into his house. At this moment, he smiles. At this moment, the heroine almost falls in love with him at first sight. So I got the idea for this story.
The setting is London, England in the 1990s. Allen is 49 years old and the heroine Anne is 30 years old.
