He said: I said fine about her staying here. Not about giving her everything.
I said: Gabriel. What did you give her? You gave her a guest room that she would have used anyway and that she has not complained about once.
I said: and then the first time you wanted the room, you moved a sick woman to a basement floor.
He said: I think you’re overreacting.
I said: I want you to think about that sentence.
I said: I want you to sit with that sentence and think about whether you actually believe it or whether you are saying it because it is the most convenient thing to say.
He said nothing.
I said: goodnight, Gabriel.
I went to bed.
The next morning I called my friend Judith.
