I met Gemma, my wife, when she was 12. She had a schoolgirl crush

I met Gemma, my wife, when she was 12. She had a schoolgirl crush on me and her dad had arranged for her to meet me. Later, she started coming to my concerts, but I only got to know her well after her mother died. I rang to see how she was, and thats how it started. – Gary Numan
