A Perfectly Nice Family – Nicole Trope

At least she’s called now. ‘How’s Jade feeling?’ Stephanie asks because she is wary of unleashing on Gail the same way her old friend has just done. Why bring up Stephanie judging the Kemp family at all? Why not just say, ‘I’m not angry at you.’

What is it with Gail and this strange family? ‘Oh, she’s right as rain but then Mum and Dad got sick so childcare was a nightmare and you know…’ Stephanie can picture Gail with her wild curls, pacing back and forth across her office with the view of the Harbour Bridge, her hands with her perfectly painted nails waving as she speaks.

‘That sounds like a lot.’ Stephanie doesn’t want to keep discussing Gail’s issues and immediately feels bad about that. She needs to be a better friend. ‘Yes, it’s been just one thing after another, but I read your text and I’m so sorry about Christopher but… look, men do this, don’t they?’ ‘I suppose,’ agrees Stephanie but this is not the response she wanted from her oldest friend.

It’s trite and dismissive, something akin to ‘boys will be boys’. ‘I know it’s a few days away, but why don’t you come over on Friday night and we’ll open a bottle of wine and get some takeaway and just hash the whole thing out.’ ‘I would love that,’ says Stephanie and she feels embarrassing tears fill her eyes.

She’s feeling more alone right now than she ever has. She wishes she had time to talk about the plumbing issue and the Kemp family issue but before she can say anything else, she hears someone in the office say, ‘Gail, we’re waiting.’ ‘And now, I’m afraid, I’ve got to run. They have a client in the conference room for me to meet.’

Stephanie hears a little boy call, ‘Stephanie, Stephanie, I’m waked up.’
