“Are you asleep?”

“…”

“Lali…”

“What do you want, Daddy?”

“To say goodbye. I’m going away until Monday.”

“Bye then.”

“Don’t I get a kiss?”

“Leave me alone, Dad, I don’t feel well.”

“Have you got a headache?”

“No.”

“What is it then?”

“Nausea and vomiting.”

“What did you eat last night?”

“Nothing, Dad, I didn’t eat anything.”

“But that’s not good, Lali. That must be why you don’t feel well.”

“…”

“Shall I tell Mummy to bring you up some breakfast?”

“No!”

“Lali, this isn’t about thinking you’re fat and you need to diet, is it?”

“My, you’re sharp today. You got it in one.”

“I’m your father, Lali.”

“…”

“Don’t you realize that you could end up anorexic?”

“Dad, don’t talk rubbish.”

“It’s not rubbish, Lali. I’m going to tell your mother to bring up some breakfast.”

“No! I want to sleep a bit more – all right?”

“…”

“…”

“All right, then.”

“…”

“…”

“…”

“I have to go, a cab’s coming for me.”

“Bye, then.”

“I’m going to Brazil, you know?”

“…”

“I’m off to Rio.”

“…”

“For work.”

“How lovely for you.”

“Shall I bring you something from duty-free?”

“…”

“Some perfume?”

“Bring me whatever you like.”

“Well, give me some pointers then. I’m a bit useless when it comes to things like that.”

“OK, bring me some perfume.”

“Any one in particular?”

“No, Daddy, any one of them.”

“Eat something, won’t you?”

“…”

“See you soon.”

“Bye.”
