The Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth

... him Peter was irrevocably gone by launching an attack on him. Surely, when Dave saw the damage she was trying to do, he would believe she was the victim going after her attacker.

Right on nine the next morning, she used Peter's own credit card to engage a lawyer. His brief was simple. Lift the restraining order on Dave and take one out against Peter. Thanks to the latter's explanations, she knew the process well. Her new shark suggested she might use accusations of rape and blackmail to cause damage and Jane was seriously contemplating it.

With that call over, Jane packed some food. At the last minute, she went to the bedroom and unlocked the gun safe in the closet. Like all Australians that wanted to own a pistol for home defence, Dave had joined a pistol club to acquire a twenty-two-calibre target pistol, then attended the club enough to keep his licence. He'd shown Jane how to use it. Jane loaded the pistol and put it and the remains of the box of ammo in her coat pocket. She hoped to convince Dave to come home immediately, but if he didn't, she wanted to give him the means to defend himself. She hurried to the park.

"That's an incredible story, Wendy. I've never encountered a couple that met in gaol before. It sounds like the stuff of fiction. Next thing you know your story will be a Netflix series."

"I swear it's absolutely true, Pauline."

"So, what were you in for?"

"Well, I came home and found my first husband in bed with my best friend. Ex best friend, I should say. I was as mad as a cut Tiger snake and clocked him on the back of the head with my briefcase as he was doing the deed. The rat couldn't take it on the chin, though, and called the police. They gave me an obligatory night in the cells for domestic abuse.

"I was just settling in when they brought in Dave and put him in the cell opposite me. God, Pauline, you should have seen him. You wouldn't recognise him. The guy was a wreck. What his ex-wife did to him... Have you ever heard anything so evil? I couldn't ignore his pain. It certainly took my mind off my own problems. It took me a couple of hours to get the full story out of him. He was obviously terrified that he'd lose his kids, and, even worse, that they'd be ...
