Bleak Spring (2013)
“Or are you going to disappear again without telling me?”
“Mum, I did tell you—you just weren’t listening. I told you Jill had called, she wanted you, and then she asked me if I wanted to go down and have a hamburger with her.”
“What did she want me for?”
Jason and Olive were making their slow way down the aisles of the supermarket here in the Randwick shopping centre, he pushing the trolley and she choosing what she wanted from the shelves. Olive had always done her grocery shopping here at Fra...nklins at Will’s insistence; Franklins was cheaper than the other chains and Will had been a compulsive comparison shopper. Olive, on the other hand, was an impulse buyer; the true species, not the lovers, who made the real world go round. Jason had grown tired of hearing the constant arguments over her spending. Today, he guessed, they had come here to Franklins out of habit.
“I’ll tell you when we get back to the car.”
She looked at him curiously. “Something important?”MoreLess
