TEXT CHAT

Sarah: YOU!!

Sarah: YOU KNEW!

Sarah: OMMGGGGG.

Sarah: Aidan O’Donnelly Sr. just came to see me.

Sarah: I’m freaking out.

Sarah: Anthony’s dead. Mary Catherine, Anthony is fucking dead, and you totally knew and you kept it from me and I don’t care! I don’t fucking care.

Sarah: Because I never have to have his hands on me again. OMG. I’m going to pass out. I know I am.

Mary Catherine: I had a feeling Uncle Aidan would tell you. I didn’t want to spoil the surprise.

Sarah: You were there?

Mary Catherine: I was.

Sarah: Did it hurt?

Mary Catherine: It was too fast to hurt, I think. It wasn’t pretty.

Sarah: Yay!

Sarah: He’s dead and it was gloriously gory.

Sarah: Is it bad that I want to dance?

Mary Catherine: Can I call?

Sarah: No. His mom’s here. I rang her after Aidan Sr. left.

Sarah: Christ, I hate her too. I hate her so much. More than I ever told you.

Mary Catherine: Thank God she’s not your mother-in-law anymore.

Sarah: More like thank God that I managed to get an IUD implanted before he could get me pregnant.

Sarah: Mary Catherine, I never have to touch him again. Oh, I want to laugh! I want to sing! But she’d give me shit for it.

Mary Catherine: So? I repeat—she’s not your MIL anymore! You can laugh and sing and fucking dance if you want to!

Mary Catherine: Go for it.

Sarah: You know what? I WILL.

Sarah: I’m FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

Mary Catherine: You are!!

Sarah: I know this is down to you. The next time I see you, I’m going to give you the biggest chocolate cake this side of Hell’s Kitchen.

Mary Catherine: You don’t need to give me anything. I mean it. I’m just glad you’re free.

Sarah: Love you, Mary Catherine.
