Chapter 61
D: How are you feeling now?
P: How do you think?
Pause
D: Sorry.
Pause
D: I am. Sorry.
Pause
P: So not a one-off, then?
D: No. No, I guess not.
Pause
D: But you know we can’t do that again, don’t you?
Pause
P: Yes.
A breath exhaled.
D: Okay. It never happened.
P: It never happened. Twice.
Pause
P: I should get dressed. Pass me that – under the desk.
Pause
P: Thank you.
Pause
D: And you know you can’t tell the others, don’t you?
P: I’m not an idiot, D—.
D: I know. I know you’re not an idiot.
P: I can’t find my other sock.
D: Because they wouldn’t understand. You know that don’t you? That they wouldn’t understand?
Pause
D: And they wouldn’t believe you. No one – they just wouldn’t.
