Followed by a variation on the eleventh text:
Call me, plz.
âOh hell,â said Marnie. âWe were out last night, I didnât see these, I just plugged the phone in and went to sleep.â She glanced up at Kaarin. âA fundraiser at the hotel.â
Kaarin said nothing. Oh, how much power was conveyed by silence. It made Marnie furious with Kaarin and also with herself for being intimidated. âPlease tell me,â she said again. âIs everything all right?â
âPhone her and find out.â
âNot with you here! Can I have privacy? What is this about?â Anger made her incautious. âThis is my daughter, their mother. Where is Brayden, can you tell me that, at least?â âI donât have that kind of information. Tell me this, though, are you feeling well?â
The question surprised her. âIâm not sure I understand you.â
âSimple enough, isnât it?â
âIâm fine. Thanks.â
âCan you tell me todayâs date?â
âYes.â
Kaarin waited.
âI need you to tell me whatâs going on,â Marnie said more quietly.
âHumour me.â
âIâm not required to humour you.â
âYou can be compelled to undergo a medical assessment.â
âSorry? On what grounds?â
âDiminished responsibility.â
Oh my giddy aunt! What new nonsense was this? What had Eleanor said? Denying it, getting into a tizzy, that would make her look guilty and, yes, unhinged. Marnie said, âI donât know what youâre talking about, but I will phone my daughter. I donât even know why youâve called by, but thanks for alerting me to the fact that my daughter has messaged me, which I would have found out anyway as soon as I turned on my phone. I really donât know what else to say to you.â
Kaarin was on her feet, bestowing her smile. âYouâll have to be out of here on Monday, we spoke about that.â
âIâve made arrangements. Thanks for the reminder.â
âWeâll need your new contact details.â
âContact details all exactly the same. Iâll give you the address within two weeks. Thanks for calling.â
This time she felt cautiously confident that her tone was right but knew there would be repercussions. Kaarin was the kind of person who exacted revenge slowly.
