43. Greener Grass: What do you really want?

“How are you doing, Troy?” Barry asked.

“I’m fucked. How are the family and wife? Have you decided on Greece or Italy for the annual leave this year?” Troy replied without looking up.

“Family’s good. Greece, naturally my daughters are more excited about that than I am, but it should be good. I see you finally signed the divorce papers. What a way to end the holiday.”

Troy’s hand paused over the page he was about to turn. “It’s what she wants. I will not make her any more miserable than I already have. Now, if you’ll excuse me…I have quite a bit of work to get through before the night is done.”

“What do you want Troy? You know, Tinovenga, for someone who went through a shit load of trouble to make sure everyone knew your wife was off limits you’re taking this a little too easy. Eve looks like she hasn’t slept in months. She’s lost weight.
