CHAPTER 11
….MIRANDA
Oh my goodness! That's horrible!
GARY
I know. He was too drunk to argue with that night, so I waited until the morning and then I went to his room and I told him to get rid of it all or I'd go to the police. I also told him to stop hanging around with us. He was furious with me, and swore he'd get revenge one day. He said he'd bide his time, and when I least expected it, he'd take away the most important thing in my life. I guess that time has come…..
MIRANDA WAS SHOCKED AND GARY WAS WORRIED THAT HE'D SAID TOO MUCH.
GARY
Miranda?
MIRANDA
Sorry Gary, it's all so sudden, I never expected…
GARY
I shouldn't have told you.
MIRANDA
No, you definitely should have told me. But you should have told me twenty years ago! We can't do anything about that now though.
GARY
So what about Tilly's wedding? What will you tell him?
MIRANDA
I think I'll still have to go with him. If I don't, he'll know you've told me and I think it's better he doesn't know that… just yet.
GARY
Why?
MIRANDA
Because I want revenge Gary. You let him off the hook, but what he did was illegal and a huge invasion of mine and my friend's privacy.
GARY
I don't want you to go with him.
MIRANDA
I know that, but since I didn't know all this before I arranged to go with him, I don't think you can very well dictate things now. And in any case, you'd already planned to go with Stevie and you and I are friends, Gary. And only friends.
GARY
Miranda…
MIRANDA
Don't Gary. I need to think about this. I'll see you later.
MIRANDA GETS UP AND LEAVES. GARY IS DEVASTATED.
