Oh
,
Kate
,
we
talked
about
lots
things
.
You
know
how
fussy
he
is
about
food
.
Incidentally
,
he
liked
your
dress
.
The
kettle
has
boiled
,
so
I
make
myself
some
tea
.
Do
you
want
tea
?
Would
you
like
me
to
hear
your
speech
for
today
?
Yes
,
please
.
I
worked
on
it
last
night
over
at
Becca
s
.
I
ll
go
fetch
it
.
And
yes
,
I
d
love
some
tea
.
Kate
races
out
of
the
kitchen

Phew
,
Katherine
Kavanagh
sidetracked
.
I
slice
a
bagel
and
pop
it
into
the
toaster
.
I
flush
,
remembering
my
vivid
dream
.
What
on
Earth
was
that
about
?
Last
night
I
found
it
hard
to
sleep
.
My
head
was
buzzing
with
various
options
.
I
am
so
confused
.
Christian
s
idea
of
a
relationship
is
more
like
a
job
offer
.
It
has
set
hours
,
a
job
description
,
and
a
rather
harsh
grievance
procedure
.
It
s
not
how
I
envisaged
my
first
romance
but
,
of
course
,
Christian
doesn
t
do
romance
.
If
I
tell
him
I
want
more
,
he
may
say
no
and
I
could
jeopardize
what
he
has
offered
.
And
this
is
what
concerns
me
most
,
because
I
don
t
want
to
lose
him
.
But
I
m
not
sure
I
have
the
stomach
to
be
his
submissive
deep
down
,
it
s
the
canes
and
whips
that
put
me
off
.
I
m
a
physical
coward
,
and
I
will
go
a
long
way
to
avoid
pain
.
I
think
of
my
dream
is
that
what
it
would
be
like
?
My
inner
goddess
jumps
up
and
down
with
cheerleading
pom
-
poms
shouting
yes
at
me
.
Kate
comes
back
into
the
kitchen
with
her
laptop
.
I
concentrate
on
my
bagel
and
listen
patiently
as
she
runs
through
her
valedictorian
speech
.
I
AM
DRESSED
AND
ready
when
Ray
arrives
.
I
open
the
front
door
,
and
he
s
standing
on
the
porch
in
his
ill
-
fitting
suit
.
A
warm
surge
of
gratitude
and
love
for
this
uncomplicated
man
streaks
through
me
,
and
I
throw
my
arms
around
him
in
an
uncharacteristic
display
of
affection
.
He
s
taken
aback
,
bemused
.

Hey
,
Annie
,
I
m
pleased
to
see
you
,
too
,
he
mutters
as
he
hugs
me
.
Setting
me
back
down
,
his
hands
on
my
shoulders
,
he
looks
me
up
and
down
,
his
brow
furrowed
.
You
okay
,
kid
?
Of
course
,
Dad
.
Can
t
a
girl
be
pleased
to
see
her
old
man
?
