nathan fished the whiskey bottle out of the cupboard anfd poured himself a slug ." it's not much to ask you to be a little flexible and civilized about it ."
my anger escaped the leash ." i don't hold with this benice at any price thiong . nathan . even if she doesn't show it , rose hares me , and rightly so . and i hate her ."
"why hate her ? she 's done nothing to you ."
we glare at each other , and the adrenaline pumped through me , drained away , and left me shaky and weak . of their own volition , my hands continuted to rifle through the contents of the store cupboard ."" if you don't understand , then i ca't expalin ." my fingers encounterd a stary pasta shell , and i knew - i knew - that i was walking ito a darkness of the sprit and i was going to say things i would regret ."it's not rational , what i feel about rose , i hate her because ....."
i've wronged her . can't you see that , you stupid man ? it's to do with the nbattle for possession , but i don't think you wish to see it , let alone acknowledge it . plus . yopu want it both ways ." i emptied the remainder of a rice packet ( wild) into glass jar . " you want to have me and to see rose . you want us all to be friends ."
nathan sat down at the kitchen table and put his head in his hands ." wouldn't yopu like to friends with her ? you were once ."
i kept myself busy with the rice packet because i coul;d not beat to see his unhappiness ." you can't have two wives . not in this country , at least ."
i heard him swallow more whiskey ." i can't talk to to you about this . minty . it's like trying to have a conversation in a foreign language or with a total stranger ."
that was more than enough . it was far , far too much .
