John, they booked the flight over a week ago, such bastards."
“I’m glad they've gone far away sis; what could we say to

“What sort of bastards are you for starters.”
“I don’t feel any anger, just a numbness.”
“I have anger, lots and lots of it."
“Keeping her
company while I worked late; I thought he was doing me a favour; I thought I was putting him out. I was so naive.”
“Such a fucking mess John, what a scheming bitch.”

“Not so loud sis, mum will hear.”
“The doctor gave her a sedative; he said she will sleep for a
while.”
“I worshipped her; could I have done something different?”
“John! Don’t you dare feel any guilt; everything took place
behind your back.”
“What was it dad used to say: ‘Always expect the
unexpected.’
“He often said that; I just wish he was here now; and not on an aeroplane with
your fucking girlfriend”.
