We permit ourselves to enter without knocking. Leonora’s on the phone. She blows us a kiss.

“Listen carefully, dear,” she says to the woman on the other end. “I’m on my way out to sea where there’s no mobile coverage, so in a minute our connection will be lost. What you must do is to tighten the noose, give him six of the best with his fishing rod, look him in the eye and tell him: This is what love feels like, Fatty.”

The desperate housewife on the other end protests.

“Of course you can do it,” says Leonora patiently. “But love without a filter is too much to begin with. That’s why we need to start off with the thumbscrews and the dildo and the guillotine. They’re like sunglasses to stop you being dazzled by the light. You have to get him used to it gradually. When autumn comes, spanking can be replaced by playful love bites. And by the end of the year, he can make do with the fetters and the sjambok.”

The connection is lost. Leonora mumbles a mantra to get her annoyance under control. Tilte places the flash drive in front of her.
