Greg:

Unfortunately
it
doesn’t
work
like
that
Rosie.

And
imagine
my
disappointment
when
I
found
out
after
I
married

you.

You
stuck
with
me
all
the
same,
thank
you
for
that.
I
have
to
go

now
and
refuse
to
give
a
mortgage
to
someone,
you
know
how
it
is.

Love
you.

Rosie:

Love
you
xx.

My
favorite
sister

Hello
my
most
favorite
big
sister
in
the
whole
entire
world.
It’s
Kevin

here.
E-mail
me
back
when
you
get
a
chance,
I’m
on
the
college
computer
so

the
Internet
is
free
and
I
wanna
ask
you
something.

Re:

Why
do
I
only
ever
hear
from
you
when
you
want
something?

Re:

favorite

You
sound
like
my
ex-girlfriend.
What
makes
you
think
I
want
some-

thing?
Maybe
I
just
want
to
catch
up
with
my
sister
and
see
what’s
going
on

in
her
life.
How’s
Katie?
Tell
her
I
was
asking
for
her.
How’s
Greg?
Tell
him

I
was
asking
for
him.
How’s
Alex?
Tell
him
I
was
asking
for
him.
See
how

interested
I
am
in
your
life?
If
you
ever
need
a
babysitter
for
Katie
just
let
me

know,
I’d
only
be
too
delighted
to
help
out.
Anyway
that’s
all
from
me,
take

care
of
yourself
and
keep
in
touch.

PS:
Any
chance
you
could
ask
your
boss
for
a
job
for
me?

A-HA!

Cecelia
Ahern

A-HA!
I
knew
there
had
to
be
a
catch!
You
never
usually
care
about

what’s
going
on
in
my
life.
Katie
is
fine,
thank
you,
so
is
Greg,
and
so
is

Alex.
You
could
see
how
they
are
with
your
very
own
eyes
if
you
ever
both-

ered
to
call
around.
Yes
I
would
love
you
to
mind
Katie
thank
you
very

much,
but
I’m
not
sure
I
could
trust
you
after
what
happened
the
last
time

round.

6
years
ago!

Oh
come
on
Rosie!
That
was
at
least
six
years
ago,
I
was
only
17!
How

could
you
give
a
17-year-old
male
an
apartment
of
his
own
and
not
expect

him
to
invite
around
a
few
friends.
It’s
only
normal.

Normal!

Kevin,
you
trashed
the
place.
Poor
Katie
was
terrified
and
