My dreams are all just throwaways
My superstitions lack
I'm just unlucky anyway
All of my cats are black
Don't let the sun pass you byAnother morning, another gorgeous heavyweight silk embroidered swing coat, tights and respectable-heeled boots, another attempt to pin my hair up and another attempt by yet another man in a suit to steer my life in a way he sees fit, instead of in the way I want.
Don't let it fall from the sky
Don't let the the sunshine pass you by
Don't let the tear fall from your eye
(Did I mention I don't know exactly what I want?)
Batman halfheartedly shoots a cuff and checks his watch.You going to bounce around for the rest of your life here? Ben's given you a clear sign. Change is necessary and I don't think he'll come back until he gets something.
What would he prefer, that I overthrow Loch for Caleb?
Well, at least you're not sleeping with Caleb anymore.
Boy, are YOU ever out of the loop.
He stops whatever admonishment he was about to make and just stares at me. I shrug.
So why would Ben stick around at all? Why would he put up with this, Bridget?
We made a family out of what we had and some other arrangements too. We're not perfect.
By far.
Wow. This is a fun breakfast date. Thanks.
Bridget, none of this is normal.
And your point is?
You need to decide what you want and leave everything else behind.
Oh, so what you're saying is, for the past twenty years as long as you were getting some it was great but since that no longer happens I should behave now?
There's too much at stake now.
The time for stakes has come and gone. I'm just..well, I don't even know what I'm doing now.
Exactly. I can't believe you have sustained this so long. How many at a time?
Okay, so now you're basically asking me if I sleep with all of them?
He looks around and back at me. Yes.
No, I don't do that.
It was an almost visceral sigh of relief that came from his demeanor but I didn't wait around to see what he was going to ask me next.
