Roxy

???!!! Are you joking??

Harriet

Sadly not. Luckily Cal isn’t pressing charges. Jon was absolutely off his head, ranting about us shagging, had clearly been drinking.

Lorna

Woah

Roxy

OMFG

Harriet

What I don’t understand is, how did Jon find out where I lived?

Roxy

Uhm … sorry that was me. After the film. He made it seem like it wasn’t a thing

Harriet

How did he explain away that he was asking you, not me??

Roxy

You know Jon, it was all fiddlesticks and whoops butterfingers and Harriet said she’d give me it and keeps forgetting, would you mind ever so? I didn’t think he’d punch anyone! I didn’t even think you’d mind him having it or I’d not have given it him

Harriet

You weren’t to know. I really hope he’s so ashamed tomorrow he comes to his senses

Lorna

Imagine if you actually HAD left him for someone else. Presume Jon would be being fingerprinted under arrest for murder right now

Harriet

What’s got into him?! Two years together and no sign of this stuff in his nature, whatsoever?

Lorna

You say that but he did have a thing about Second World War films. He once told me every man of his generation feels guilt at never having faced a Nazi

Roxy

He must be so madly in love with you he’s lost his mind.

Lorna

Don’t make this some male passion ‘nice guy snapped’ shit, Rox. If this was a woman we’d have no problem saying she was a vindictive scary banshee

Roxy

I wasn’t!
