DREAM
I'm lying in bed with my two daughters.
The youngest manages to s**t everywhere - the duvet, the pillow, the floor.
I'm calling to V**** for assistance.
Don't remember whether she can't or won't hear me either way she offers no help in cleaning up.
Time passes we're out in the street.
I'm with V***** but our eldest daughter has gone for a walk with a friend of hers (the close friend I managed to cruelly alienate forcing V***** to choose between us).
They're late getting back.
V***** asks where they might be.
I respond can't recall what I say.
V***** answers me. Everything about her tone and facial expression suggests a deep dislike of me.
