“Do we care?” Rich asked her.
Jade smiled at that. “No,” she said. “No, we don’t. A school’s a school and kids are kids and we’ll make friends and have a good time. And live at home – you, me and…” Her smile turned into a frown. “And Dad.”
“He’s all right.”
“I know.” Jade sighed. “But just when I think he’s being honest with us and we’re getting somewhere, he pulls a stunt like at the casino.”
Rich nodded. “Yeah. But you know, I was thinking – that’s his job. I mean, if he was, I don’t know, a car salesman, we’d be upset because we go on holiday and he tries to sell a car to any bloke he meets who seems interested. If he was a writer, he’d be forever scribbling rubbish in some notebook.”
Jade considered this. “I guess we’re lucky he’s not a taxidermist,” she said.
Rich laughed. “If he was, we could tell him to get stuffed.”
