How were the debs last night? No doubt you’re nursing a hangover. I’ll wait to hear from you tomorrow but I’ll wait no longer! I want to know everything!

Did you get my last e-mail? I keep calling and there’s no answer, what’s up? I hope you’re busy preparing for the big move over to me!
E-mail me soon please.
Steph:
Rosie, stop avoiding Alex and tell him how the debs went. Alex is even e-mailing me wondering what happened and I’m certainly not going to tell him! The poor guy missed out and all he wants to know is who did what, where and when.

Rosie:
Well I certainly won’t be telling him who did who.
Steph:
Ha ha.
Rosie:
It’s not funny.
Steph:
I think it’s hilarious. Come on it’s been three weeks now!
Rosie:
Are you sure it’s been three weeks?
Steph:
Oh don’t try to play that one Rosie!
Rosie:
No I’m serious Steph. Has it been three weeks?
Steph:
Yeah, why?
Rosie:
Holy shit.

Please Rosie?
Are you mad at me? I’m sorry I couldn’t go to the debs ball, things with whiney Briany can’t have gone that badly, can they?! What have you been doing all month? This is ridiculous. Why doesn’t anyone answer the phone when I call?
Answer me,
Alex
Mrs. Dunne,
Hi Alice, it’s Alex here. I’m just writing to see if Rosie’s OK. I haven’t heard from her and I was getting a bit worried to tell you the truth. It’s unusual 40

for me to not hear from her in so long. Every time I call the house it just goes onto answering machine, are you all getting my messages? Maybe you’ve all gone away? Please let me know if everything is OK and tell Rosie to call.
Best wishes,
Alex.
Dear Sandra,
Alex has been leaving messages with us all week and he’s terribly worried about Rosie. I know you’re worried about him worrying about Rosie so I’m just writing to let you know the situation . . .

You’re not coming to Boston??
My mum told me today that you’re not coming to Boston. Please tell me what’s happening. I’m so worried. Did I do something wrong? Was it because I missed the debs? Because you know I am so so sorry about that but they just couldn’t get me on another flight. You know that. I am always here for you when you need me.
Whatever it is Rosie please no that I will understand and will always be here to help you. Please let me no what is happening, I’m going out of my mind here. If you don’t get in touch with me, I’m booking a flight back to Ireland and I’m going to see you myself.
Love,
Alex

take deep breaths and try to relax. Maybe this is the correct path for you, perhaps Boston wasn’t. I’m booking a flight and I’ll be home as soon as I can. Hang in there little sis,
Love,
Stephanie

Alex,
It was good to see you again. Please don’t be a stranger. I’m really going to need all the friends I can get right now. Thank you for being so supportive last week, I honestly think I will go mad without you sometimes.
Life is funny isn’t it? Just when you think you’ve got it all
