"Oh. Okay, we'll ask Janice. She cleans their bedroom. Maybe she'll know."Later when they were strolling on the running path, Patty said, "Why do you ...ant to know now many shoes Nora has?"Haltingly, he told her about his parents' last fight. While he spoke, he started to cry, not gulping sobs, mostly silent tears, but some of them escaped his eyes and streaked his cheeks."Why did they have to yell at each other, Patty? Why... ?" he said.She pulled at his hand. "Come. There's some chairs over in. (Like, for example, did you notice how the 70s Eurovision Winner “Save your kisses for me” can be sung really well as “Celia pisses on me”?

I will, but I'm not promising anything." she said, trying to restore my confidence, without getting my hopes up. "Now let's get back to work, these fucking piazzas won't make themselves." We didn't have any conversations about what we talked about, for a few weeks. Until finally one day she told me, "I have been thinking about what you told me." What do you mean?" I asked her, half knowing what she was. " Did you need me to come there? It's nothing to change busses..." No, that's alright. I'll need you in the office for now, alright?" Okay... if you need me, call me, alright?" You know I will," Heather smiled. They ended the call. Heather plugged her mobile to it's charger and padded off to the bathroom to shower.The warm water felt so good on Heather's skin. She stood in the shower stream, allowing the water to cascade over her head and body, and felt as if all of her cares were just melting.
