I only just managed to herd them out the door
FIONA
Oh god, I’m sorry
It’s so late, you must be exhausted xx
SATOSHI
Speaking of – why are you still up?
Was there a rager at the Fisher family house I wasn’t invited to?
FIONA
The girls insisted they were going to stay up until midnight, but they were already drooping by the 9 pm fireworks, and everyone was well and truly in bed by 10 pm
Including me, but…
SATOSHI
Can’t sleep?
FIONA
No
Matt’s first child support payment is supposed to come through today and I can’t stop obsessively refreshing my bank account
Because if he *doesn’t* pay (very on brand for him), I have a whole new mess to deal with
Anyway. You don’t need to hear about this.
SATOSHI
I *want* to hear about this
You can tell me anything x
FIONA
I know x
Let me rephrase: I don’t want to talk about it
I want to think about it *less*
Ideally, I never want to have to think about it at all
SATOSHI
Can I try and take your mind off it?
FIONA
What were you thinking?
