Chapter 45

Sloane Street, London, UK

Jack and Amy walked along a deserted street past shop fronts. It was late evening. Amy checked out the fashion in shop windows, amazed she no longer cared about clothes, handbags, jewellery, considering them all just things, stuff people put so much effort into acquiring, working hard to earn money, fall into debt, succumbing to peer pressure to fit in and be ‘cool,’ trendy, acceptable.

What a waste. She shook her head at her own shallowness. What mattered was the person deep down; actions mattered, not whether you had the latest fashion, bigger boobs, or a drink-tray butt.

“What is it with Mara? What makes her the way she is?” asked Amy.

“Childhood, upbringing, dodgy parenting, and loving someone who doesn’t love her back,” answered Jack.

“With her airs and graces, I assumed she came from a wealthy family, that she had everything.”
