Hmmmm...I do vaguely remember, from reading Divided Soul, M told David
Ritz that he *wished* he & T could have been lovers. M strikes me as
someone who got along with women *as long as* they were just friends;
once dating/marriage/sex entered the mix he turned into Mr. Hyde. So
if he really did have romantic feelings for T, he may have kept them
from her while she was alive so that the friendship wouldn't be ruined.

And I have a crush on T myself, even though I wasn't born till 6 yrs
after she died! It's a cruel world, I just live in it...
