Mother said he was gone so long that he must have been on vacation. Not business? Your boyfriend. Victor Newman. Obviously she didn’t know anything, because Victor Newman was hiding out. Waiting for his revenge. No, she said, the actor. The guy who plays Victor Newman. He probably took a long vacation so they killed him off for a while. I must have looked really stupid because she said, God I hope you don’t wear that face to school. Then she walked away. Fuck, I said, to see if she would turn around. Watch your mouth! she said, still walking. I went to the bathroom mirror to watch my bathroom mouth. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
