Suit And Tie

[poliphilo]

There's a letter to be answered from our solicitor.

The solicitor is a man of power. He wears a suit. He wears a tie.

He scares me. Even though he's working for us. 

He's the guy who knows how the game is played.

I'm afraid I'll say something silly and he'll despise me even more than he already does.

(And charge me for it)

"You answer him," I say to Ailz. 

"No," she replies. "It's too hot. You answer him!"

My father did (or at least I think he did) and this guy used to work for him. I've only just made the connection.

That's really sad that you think that...Do you, truly? I wouldn't have said so.

He and I had as little to do one another as we possibly could. I believe we made our peace before he died and we never stopped loving one another, but there was powerful disappointment on both sides.
