Too Close to Home (2011)
“She snaps a grissini in two and dips one end in the hummus that Freya has brought over.
Anna had called that afternoon. She wanted to talk. Freya, too, wanted to talk. But when she arrived Louise was also there. This often happened. Freya would be looking forward to time alone with her friend, only to find that a quick drink together involved others. Sometimes she used to wonder whether her place in Anna’s life was less special than she would have liked to believe. When she was younger, she would get hurt, wanting an intensity in her friendships that would affirm the importance of her existence, something she no longer expects from the people in her life.
This evening, however, she’d been surprised at the irritation she felt when she arrived at Anna’s to find Louise lying on the Danish leather sofa drinking a glass of wine. It was partly because she didn’t like Louise all that much. Matt has pointed out to her that this isn’t surprising, given their history. When Louise made her film ...from Freya’s play, Louise took all the credit and it irked her.MoreLess
