Boy Who Made It Rain (19 page)

‘I was looking for you. I couldn't find you.' Eyes still fixed on McEvoy. Blood still pissing out.

‘This is madness,' she said. I took my eyes away from McEvoy.

‘Where did you go, I was looking for you?' I asked.

‘I had women's problems.'

‘I couldn't find you, Rosie.'

‘Why did you leave me in that class?'

‘I told you, Clem.'

‘What? Tell me, I don't understand.'

‘I had women's problems.'
