I sat in the emergency room staring at all these people…
““I sat in the emergency room staring at all these people who were so concerned about Rita. The thing was, I had a feeling that there was a lot going on with Rita, but nothing like they were thinking. She needed some medical assistance alright, but hell, every woman in her situation did eventually. Paulo, my fuck boy of a husband… well legally, anyway, was sitting in here playing the role of the concerned father like he wasn’t just trying to marry his only daughter off to a man as old as him. It didn’t matter that biologically she wasn’t his because he didn’t know all that then. I wanted to go over there and poke his fucking eyes out, but it wasn’t time for that yet.””
