“You’re doing it again, aren’t you?” Eveline says, her voice raspy, angry, violent.

Stockwell doesn’t reply.

“You just can’t help yourself, can you? I know you’ve been doing it, but why?”

Silence.

“Didn’t you have enough of that last time?” Eveline continues. She’s shouting, now.

“Well, I sorted it last time, didn’t I?” Stockwell says finally, his voice a whisper.

“You sorted it? You sorted it? We’ve been stuck with the result of it every day. Everyone can see it. Everyone knows. What was I supposed to do? I couldn’t even say she was mine. And now you’re at it again.”

“Don’t say that about our daughter.” Stockwell’s voice rises.

“Your precious daughter! Does she know what you did to her mother, because you were so desperate to be a family? Does she? Let’s see how much she loves her dad when she does. I’ll call her right now.” Eveline reaches for the phone on the kitchen counter. “I’ll call her right now. Then we’ll see how much she wants to be your daughter!”

“Give me the phone,” Stockwell commands, taking a step towards his wife.

“No, we’ll sort this out now.”

Stockwell makes a grab for the phone. Eveline moves out of his way twice, but on the third time he overpowers her. He’s twice her size. She loses balance and falls into a cabinet of painted china. The sound of breaking plates hangs in the air.

“She needs to know at what cost this family is built.” Eveline’s voice is venomous. “She needs to know how you waited for her mother to be out of the country, had one of your Home Office mates reject her visa renewal, and then had her held at the airport. Two days she waited at Heathrow. All she wanted was to see her daughter, but she couldn’t even do that. You had them put her on the next plane back.”

“You need to stop talking now.” Stockwell’s voice is a rumble.

“Then, as if that wasn’t enough, you got the courts to take the poor baby from her relatives. Because you wanted that, too.”

“Shut up. Just shut up!”

The sound of broken glass.

“And I’m just supposed to be okay with that? Just accept that?”

The sound of a fist.

A gasp.

Another fist.

A stifled scream.

A door slams.
