Whether Lots of Day Dresses or Just One Day Dress, They. Never Spoke Aga
‘I know you were not out with Tim and Joe last night because my parents called them to try and find you. They used my phone. They have not told me as much, but I overheard them speaking in the middle of the night or perhaps in my dreams. Either way, I don’t trust you anymore and I don’t wish to be with you. I want you out of my life for good. Starting now.’ As Paola finished she turned around to face her father very slowly and whilst Richard was in mid sentence. She did not hear what he was saying and for all she cared he could be banging on about his day dresses or what sort of day dress she was referring to, in the cupboard. She didn’t care. She no longer heard anything he said. Her father took over from here and escorted Richard out. Her father had always liked Richard but this time it was important that he showed solidarity with his daughter. As Richard walked out through the ward, the eyes of a pack of Italian hounds were burning holes in his soul or so it seemed to Richard. He was sad, hung-over and he felt really stupid. Then he heard Paola speak again and this time in Italian: ‘Arriverderci, Ricardo – my mother will help you pack’. The door closed and Paola and Richard never spoke again. Paola relaxed. A new beginning.
