The Seven Deadly Sins: Sloth

... watched all the kids frolic in the pool. Bart's wife waved as she and her husband played with Dave and Wendy's most recent addition to their family, little one-year-old, Jen. Bart adored his tiny baby half-sister. Out of habit, Wendy's eyes searched for her other child, three-year-old Lachy. She thanked whatever gods were listening, every day, that she'd met her soul mate on what was for both of them the worst day of their lives.

"Where is Dave now?"

"He's attending a business awards do for the local chamber of industry. The manager of one of his outlets is receiving some sort of award for excellence and Dave wanted to show support. The guy used to be one of the park dwellers. A few of them did pretty well after Dave renewed their faith in society. The guy that Jane shot went back to university and became a lawyer. He calls in every few weeks for a beer after he does his shift at the mobile soup kitchen Dave sponsors. Lachy makes the poor bugger show him his bullet scar every single time he comes. He sometimes brings one or more of his grandkids as well."

"He doesn't blame Dave for what happened?"

"What do the kids think of her being released?"

"It's been such a long time, they could take it or leave it. Dave said he will support whatever relationship they want to have with her."

"What about your ex? You've never said anything about him. Did you come up with some fantastic form of revenge for him?"

"Maybe," said Wendy, her sly grin at odds with her coy words. "But that's a story for another day. Ask me in five years... when the statute of limitations is up."

Pauline gasped, staring at her friend.

"And the rich guy, Peter? What happened to him?"

"Well, we had enough evidence from recordings in the house to sue the crap out of him for the lies he and his lawyers told and the trouble they'd caused. He paid up gracefully and became a bit of a recluse after the incident. His son never fully recovered, and his daughter turned on him. I think he was totally disillusioned about women by Jane's attack at the end. Apparently, he stayed at the hospital all night and the next day with his son. His phone went flat at some point, that's why he never returned Jane's calls. The next thing he knew, the woman he loved launched a vicious attack on him. It's ...
