‘This computer,’ he said. ‘Are you going to have it installed at home?’
That seemed an odd thing to be exercising his mind. ‘I should think so,’ she said.
‘And … where will home be, Judy?’
She didn’t answer. That was another problem, for another day. One that hadn’t started at half past four in the morning. Her selfish soul wanted to have its cake and eat it, wanted Lloyd to be around when she wanted him, and not when she didn’t, and she was going to have to wrestle with that some other time.
But she had made a start on trying to reform. She had spent what had possibly been the longest working day of her life walking round in shoes that clashed with her dress. And if that wasn’t an act of pure selflessness, then she didn’t know what was.
