Conversation RIP (Killer)
There was furious silence in the booth from the women, mixed with a gauged suspension of opinion from the men.
Ginny, being invested, had expressed her dissatisfaction with the quality of man available to the unwed mother.
Kurt had provided a brutally frank answer. It hung in the air above the table like a phantasm.
To me, he’d drawled, a man willing to bring up another’s child born of selfish gratification – or conversely accept someone who’d aborted – wouldn’t think much of himself. Where’s the quality in that?
I wished the now red-faced Frank had given a brutally curt answer instead.
