  41. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

‘No. Thank you, but no. I don’t want him bashed. I just want to forget I ever met him.’

‘Not being a dick or nothing,’ Ty said, ‘but that’s gonna be hard when there’s footage of you rooting him all over the internet.’

‘Yeah. So, my plan is, I think, move back to Brissie for a bit and—’

‘Boo! Queensland!’

‘Shush, ya boofhead.’

‘Just to get out of the intense sort of, ah, scrutiny and that. Meanwhile, I’m going to make him pay for the removal service, if I can. And if I can’t do that, or it doesn’t work, then last resort is I change my name so anyone who googles it doesn’t get an eyeful of my tits.’

‘That’s what they’d see if they googled you now is it? Just type in, what? Lena—what’s your last name?’

‘Not funny, Ty. Gross. But listen, Leen, honestly, fuck that plan.’

‘What? No good?’

‘Fuck, no. Get your hands on that amount of money you buy yourself a car or a holiday or something. Don’t pay some weirdo to spend weeks watching you screw. And your name, Leen. Come on. You can’t let this fucker take that from you.’

‘It’s just a name.’ But even as she said it she knew she could never do it. If Dad was alive maybe she wouldn’t care. But she had so little of him now. She couldn’t let his name go.

‘So what then? Just accept that everyone I meet for the rest of my life will know what my come face looks like?’

‘Jesus,’ Ty said.

‘Yeah—I mean, nah,’ Kylie said. ‘Like, some people will and so what? I bet your come face is bloody gorgeous.’

‘Fucking hell.’ Ty rubbed his head. ‘Should I leave?’

‘But there’s so much porn on the internet, Leen. Like, for real. And do you know who all those women are? Would you have the slightest clue if the chick who serves you at Maccas or your teacher at uni or, hell, your mum is one of those eighty billion videos?’

‘Her mum! Settle, Kyles. Jesus.’

‘I’m just saying. It feels like everyone is—what’d ya say?—got you under scrutiny, but it’s just fresh and that. Plus you’re living right among these idiots. Time’ll go on and your bits will be just another set of bits bouncing around out there, and if someone does match ’em up with the real-life Lena Harris they know, then lucky fucking them, I say. Getting to know this cool chick for real and seeing her hoo-ha as well.’
