you
out
the
window
coming
into
work,
what
the
hell
are
you
wearing
around
your
neck?
Is

shells?
It
brings
luck.
Uh-huh.
Any
luck
yet?
I

miss
my
bus
this
morning.
Uh-huh.

You’ll
never
believe
this
I’m
faxing
you
over
a
letter
Sally
sent
Katie.
Let
me
know
what
you
think.
To
Katie,
Thank
you
for
being
my
flower
girl
at
my
wedding
last
week.
Everybody
said
that
you
looked
beautiful,
just
like
a
real
little
princess.

Myself
and
Alex
are
now
on
holiday
in
a
place
called
the
Seychelles,
just
where
your
mummy
wants
to
live.
Tell
her
it
is
lovely,
very
hot
and
sunny,
and
you
can
show
her
the
photograph
of
me
and
Alex
lying
on
the
beach
to
show
her
what
it
looks
like
here.
We
are
very
happy
and
very
much
in
love.
I
am
enclosing
a
photograph
of
you,
me,
and
Alex
on
our
wedding
day
so
you
can
frame
it
and
put
it
up
in
your
house.
I
hope
you
like
it.
Ring
us
soon.
Love,
Sally
You

Ruby:
Sounds
like
the
bitch
is
just
pissing
around
her
man
to
mark
her
territory.
By
sending
a
letter
to
an
8-year-old
little
girl??!!
Well
she
obviously
knew
that
it
would
get
into
your
hands.
That’s
cruel
alright.
What
did
Katie
say?
Oh
nothing
much,
I
don’t
think
she
realized
what
Sally
was
doing.
Don’t
let
Sally
worry
you.
She’s
just
trying
to
let
you
know
who
the
woman
is
in
Alex’s
life
now.
Anyway
why
is
she
doing
this,
did
you
do
anything
to
make
her
feel
threatened?
Rosie:
Ruby:
Rosie:
Ruby:
Rosie:
No
way!
As
if!
Rosie?
Oh
OK
then
maybe
she
felt
just
a
little
threatened
by
the
fact
that
Alex
and
I
had
a
better
time
at
her
wedding
than
she
did.
Bingo!
Yes
but
that’s
the
way
we
always
are
Ruby,
it
wasn’t
flirting,
it
wasn’t
anything.
It
was
just
happiness.
However
she
did
not
crack
one
smile
for
the
whole
day,
she
just
kept
sucking
her
cheekbones
in
and
pouting
at
everyone.
Ruby:
OK
I
believe
you,
but
millions
wouldn’t.
Anyway,
don’t
rise
to
her,
