“Even if they did write it on the shithouse wall. And I suppose you liked, ‘And
take Tommy, your dildo on feet, with you’ too.”

“You left out ‘little, ’” said Rosie. “
‘Little
dildo on feet.’”

“Where do you think you are, in a public courtroom?”

“That was funny,” she said.

“Strange, I still fail to see the humour.”

She looked at my face. “I mean what you just
said
about way back then.
Not
being
back then. That wasn’t funny.” She grinned, though, and kissed
my lips, and stretched out on top of me, sighing contentedly. “Listen, Tommy,
don’t get anxious about it. When I go back to hell, I’m definitely taking you
with me.”
