  89. About William Wall
  90. An Invitation from the Publisher

There was no fight. There was no talk of a summons idk maybe my dad was just making stuff up. Maybe it was all about my mam. The way things are in my house I’m never going to find out. But it’s like when you have a fight in school and you walk away and you’re hoping the other person idk maybe a Serena-like individual will call after you, Come back, Suzy, all is forgiven. But there’s already too much to forgive and nobody is ever going to call. But like I need someone to call. Maybe more than my dad, I need it.

I never slept a wink even though I was in my own bed again. I couldn’t stop waiting. The Macbeths slept like kings until they murdered someone, like uneasy lies the head idk but I got sleeplessness for even just thinking about it, or even like just worrying that something might happen. But nothing did. It’s just they went to bed. Tony came home about two. Maybe I dozed off idk about five o’clock I heard a fox barking somewhere. It was a she-fox maybe, a sound like a woman screaming, a short hard scream. I hear it often around my house at night. We are miles from anywhere.

So next day I went to school and Holly and Serena wanted to know all about it. I told them about Peter. Serena said, Like, you found this old depressed guy in a bog somewhere, that is so you, Suzy, just totally gross, he was probably a gay.

But Holly understood. When I think of it now Peter was Holly. He was that thing which is just gentleness. Which I need. Someone to be with where I don’t have to run or hide. I was lucky I found him. He maybe saved me. And Holly was still saying no to Jason Clancy. She showed me one of his texts. Babe u gotta let me xplain im not an asshole I just say de rong tings ☹.

Like, rong? How could anyone spell it like that?

I said, Tell him to try autocorrect.

She didn’t get it.

He was even tweeting her. Holly said he was practically stalking her. She was trying to block his number but you can only block calls on her phone.

And all Serena wanted to talk about was the Graham Dwyer trial. She knew all about it and she had googled all the things they did.
