‘I don’t remember where I was or what I was doing when I heard my father
had died.’
‘Okay. Do you want to explore that?’
I stared at Theresa, sitting in her leather wingback chair. She reminded
me of the sleepy dormouse at Alice in Wonderland’s tea party, or one of his
ratty friends. She blinked a lot behind her little round glasses and her lips
were permanently pursed. She had great legs under the knee-length tweed
skirt she was wearing, and good hair too. I decided she could be pretty if
she wanted to be, but I knew she wasn’t interested in anything but looking
intelligent.
‘Electra? I’m losing you again.’
‘Yeah, sorry, I was miles away.’
‘Were you thinking about how you felt when your father died?’
As I couldn’t exactly tell her what I had been thinking, I nodded
earnestly. ‘Yeah, I was.’
‘And?’
‘I really can’t remember. Sorry.’
‘You seem angry about his death, Electra. Why were you angry?’
‘I’m not . . . I wasn’t. I mean, I honestly can’t remember.’
‘You can’t remember how you felt at that moment?’
‘No.’
‘Okay.’
I watched her scribble something onto her notepad, which probably went
along the lines of ‘refusing to deal with father’s death.’ It was what the last
shrink had said to me, and I was so totally dealing with it. As I’d learnt over
the years, they liked to find a reason for me being a screw-up and then
they’d take hold of it, just like a mouse with a piece of cheese, and nibble
away at me until I agreed with them and talked shit just to keep them happy.
‘So, how are you feeling about Mitch?’
The phrases that came to mind to describe my ex would probably have
Theresa reaching for her cell to warn the cops that there was a crazy woman
on the loose, who wanted to blast away the balls of one of the world’s most
famous rock stars. Instead, I smiled sweetly.
‘I’m good. I’ve moved on now.’
‘You were very angry with him the last time you came to see me,
Electra.’
‘Yeah, but I’m fine now. Really.’
‘Well, that’s good news. And how about the drinking? Under control a
little more?’
‘Yes,’ I lied again. ‘Listen, I’m gonna have to run to a meeting.’
‘But we’re only halfway through the session, Electra.’
‘I know, it’s a shame, but hey, that’s life.’ I stood up and walked towards
the door.
‘Maybe I can fit you in again later this week? Speak to Marcia on your
way out.’
‘I will, thanks.’ I was already closing the door behind me. I walked
straight past Marcia, the receptionist, and headed for the elevator. It came
almost immediately and as I was whooshed downwards, I closed my eyes –
I hated any confined spaces – and laid my hot forehead against the cool
marble interior.
