Here’s the first one:

Kevin

Same again tomorrow, babe?

Nicky-Rose

No. It was fun, but we’re over.

Kevin

WTF? But we’re so hot together! Can’t just walk away now!

Nicky-Rose

We both wanted fun and both got what we wanted. Why are you kicking off?

Kevin

Not kicking off. Got two other birds. Why should I be bothered?

Nicky-Rose

Great. See you at Fairways. Break a leg.

Kevin

Sure. 143.

Stay calm. Breathe. Whatever’s wrong we’ll sort it out together.

Emma. She said Kevin was talking to Fran in the park, but couldn’t see clearly who it was.

I think she already knew. She knew he was seeing my own sister and didn’t want to say.

Since when did Kevin call anyone “babe”?

12:16 p.m. Sarah-Jane wrote:

Since Sammy fell in love with Bluey. And “two other birds”? Me and Fran? Kevin has been three-timing me, Mum.

And there are still two play nights to get through before I can confront him.
