Talk Say Quote by Cath Crowley
““Let’s talk about something else,’ I say, and ask him how things are going with George. ‘Things are better,’ he says, and I’m surprised. They don’t seem better. ‘Around this time last week she was telling you to fuck off.’ ‘And I told her that I had decided not to fuck off.’ It’s an interesting tactic. ‘What did she say?’ ‘She told me that if I didn’t fuck off, she would.’ ‘I’m confused about how things are better.””
