I said nothing. “Still,” she said, her voice dripping with patronizing sweetness,
“good for you, darling. I mean it, really, well done.”
I looked at the floor, felt tears come. She spoke to someone else, a semi-snarl;
“Naw, ah fucking didnae! Ah said Sex and the City 2! Aye, I did!

don’t go getting sidetracked from your project with all this new job and birthday party nonsense.
There’s a task in hand, and you need to remain focused on it. Faint heart never won fair chap, you know.
