My hands are shaking as I dial Kate’s number. Have I ever been this angry? If I have I certainly can’t remember it now.

There’s a pregnant pause on the other end of the line, before she weakly responds, “What? Of course not.”

“Come off it Kate, do you really think I don’t know about your shit?” I demand. “I’m not a complete idiot.”
