The Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth

... situation for her, she thought. He would either accept her back or tell her they were irrevocably finished. That, at least, would take the decision on their future away from her, and bizarrely, she thought that would ease her conscience. Fatigue does very strange things to logic.

She could see Dave in the top corner of the park and her flight reflex was immediately on overdrive. Three other winos surrounded him, one, the biggest of them, was right in Dave's face. As she approached reluctantly, the guy behind Dave hit him in the kidneys. Dave fell to the ground and all three of the others lay into him with their feet. Jane now realised why her husband was sporting bruises whenever she saw him. She called the police emergency number and gave details, urging them to be quick. One of the winos saw her and guessed what she was up to. He shouted to the others, and they all started in Jane's direction. She fled. They gave up as she ran toward her home, outstripping their shambling pace. That was when Peter rang her. She hung around the park until the police arrived, just before Peter.

Fiona became the latest in a long line of hang-ups in Jane's recent life. She hardly knew Brent. Certainly, she had no idea about anything to do with his love life. She looked at the black screen of her phone, wondering why the hell she was being blamed for all the problems in Peter's family. She was the one seduced by Fiona's father. She was a victim of all this too. She could only surmise that Fiona just couldn't blame either her brother or her father but needed an outlet for her anger and fears.

CHAPTER 9

Jane used the hours that sleep used to fill that night to plan. The result was largely delusional but surprisingly co-ordinated. The lack of answers to her calls to Peter's phone told her that bridge was probably a smouldering ruin.
