In My Desperate Time

"No wonder Frances suddenly marries Hilda when he already loves you so much. It can't be real. I knew it!"

Mindy says with certainty, slapping her thighs.

I roll my eyes at her and point it out.

"I remember it very differently when Frances and Hilda were together. You didn't say you knew it. You said he was a bastard or something. Wait a minute! You have said that again one minute ago, haven't you?"

I tilt my head and pretend to be recalling suspiciously.

Mindy knows she has made a fool of herself.

But she just turns around and glares at David, "Did I just say that, David? You didn't hear me say anything bad about Frances, did you?"

With a puzzled look, David shakes his head, "I wasn't paying attention to you guys."
