Love, Rosie (54 page)

he
be?
He’s
married
to
perfect
pretty
little
Sally,
happily
might
I
add

(at
least
according
to
Sally)
and
I
have
a
lovely
photograph
of
the

two
of
them
lying
on
the
beach
together
looking
very
much
in
love

just
to
prove
it.
I
gave
him
a
chance
to
be
part
of
Katie’s
life
and

mine
and
he
chose
to
remain
my
friend,
which
is
what
I
have
now

come
to
terms
with.
It’s
fine.
Now
I
am
in
a
relationship
with
Greg,

he’s
wonderful
and
I
no
longer
care
about
Alex
in
that
way
at
all

whatsoever
!
So
that’s
all
I
have
to
say
about
that
thank
you
very

much!
I
am
over
Alex,
he
is
not
interested
in
me
and
now
I
am
in

love
with
Greg!
So
there!

Greg:

Well
.
.
.
thank
you
for
sharing
all
that
with
me
Rosie,
I
can’t
tell

you
enough
how
thrilled
I
am
to
hear
that
you
are
no
longer
in
love

with
a
man
named
Alex
“
at
all
whatsoever
”
as
you
so
articulately

put
it
.
.
.

Rosie:

Oh
my
god
Ruby!!
I
just
sent
Greg
the
message
that
was
supposed

to
be
for
you!!
Fuck
fuck
FUCKETY
FUCK!
I
TOLD
HIM
I

LOVED
HIM!!!!

Greg:

Rosie:

Ruby:

Em

eh
.
.
.
went
to
me
again
Rosie
.
.
.
sorry
.
.
.

Oh

Rosie:

Ruby:

OK
so
that
has
to
be
the
singularly
most
embarrassing
thing
that

has
ever
happened
to
me,
without
any
doubts,
NO
exceptions!!!

What
about
the
time
you
wore
that
white
dress
out
to
a
club
with

no
underwear
on
and
someone
spilled
water
all
over
you
and
it
was

suddenly
completely
see-through?

Rosie:

Ruby:

OK
so
that
was
pretty
embarrassing.

And
what
about
the
time
you
were
in
the
supermarket
and
you

grabbed
another
little
girl’s
hand
by
mistake
and
started
dragging

her
out
to
the
car
while
Katie
waited
inside
crying
her
eyes
out.

Rosie:

Ruby:

Rosie:

That
little
girl’s
mother
said
it
was
fine
and
she
dropped
the

charges
.
.
.

And
what
about
the
time—

OK
that’s
enough
thank
you!
I
take
back
what
I
said,
it
was
not
the

most
embarrassing
thing
that
has
ever
happened,
but
it’s
pretty

much
up
there
with
the
all-time
classics.
The
number
one
embar-

rassing
moment
being
the
time
I
kissed
Alex.
