Mum growled a little.
“I’ve no idea,” she said.
She groaned then sighed before inhaling deeply on her cigarette.
“Not that it really matters.” she smiled.
“Maybe something like ‘Simone’ would have been a better choice of name,” I suggested.
“Well yes…
but I’d told her I had a PA called Janine or Janice months and months ago.” Mum replied.
“A better choice would have been not to tell porkies in the first place…
but hindsight always comes too late,” she said, looking at me and smiling, before apologizing again.
“Let’s not dwell on it,” I said, taking a final drag of my cigarette before stubbing it out.
“What’s done is done,” I added.
“Yeah.” Mum agreed, clearly disheartened.
