How do you feel about the whole Ben and Emma situation? Especially with your mother back?
“I dunno.” She is inspecting a chip in the purple paint covering her index finger, trying to seem as disinterested in the questioning as she can. Somewhere deep down, she does care. All these people in her life that she loves so deeply, unconditionally. She wants them all to be happy, but they all fit together like jigsaw pieces from different puzzles. Not at all. “Ben’s been in love with my sister, for like, ever. He told me once when he got real wasted and I had to come pick him up. He totally threw up in the back of the limo, it was fucking hilarious. But – he loves my mum, too. I don’t know, it’s all a bit 90′s soap opera for my tastes.” Astrid rolls her eyes. “Not that it really even matters. Emma is with Romain now, and they seem happy together. Even if he is, like, an old man. And dad likes him, so – that’s probably, like, good for Emma. I don’t know, I just want mum to be happy. She’s the one who deserves it the most, you know?”
