Well the minute he left I chucked his present unopened in the trash. I’m happy enough as it is. I don’t need anything to change my life. I just hoped it wasn’t money; which it wouldn’t have been because Freddie was as tightfisted as they come.
That night I lay awake half the night wondering what it could be that would change my life. I don’t know why Freddie gave me a present anyway because we hardly knew each other. Only when his girlfriend gave him up and she started going out with me did we even meet. We got on alright at first but he was turning up to my place too often.
Anyway I couldn’t stand wondering any longer what was in the parcel so I got up and opened it. And that’s why I have two fingers missing on my right hand.
