Chapter 25 Cock Up My Ass

• It all happened after I had completed an intense interstate work related trip from Perth. My mum had asked me as a favour to reconcile with her step-mother, Joanna. Age and distance and Facebook had those two back on reasonable terms. It was my last afternoon in Melbourne and I hadn’t had the courage to call J yet. I had never gotten on with her as she had taken financial advantage of my mum too often. She had the unsavoury habit of using dodgy loan sharks.
• “Are you sure Kendall,” asked, Sue as she packed her bag, “Save yourself angst; fly back with me.”
• “Thanks, but I need to do this; well at least for my mum.” Surer with words than in my mind.
