Don't Let Him In

by Lisa Jewell

“What about you? Where do you live?” “Oh, I’m in a temporary situation at the moment, renting a flat in Tooting.” “Tooting?”

I laughed out loud at the gym

“Yes.” He smiles at her playfully. “Something wrong with Tooting?”

LOL yes

“You know he lives in Tooting?”

Hahahah

The place in Tooting is just temporary.”

I hope so

“It doesn’t matter. I just feel, Jonathan, as if there’s a dark void here, in our world, and that you emerged from it and now I’m being sucked down into it too.”

Why couldn’t he have invited Ash’s mother to his place, in Tooting?

Is this a real place

“For you to leave, Jonathan. For you to just leave.”

Gtfo jonathan

“So why does he live in Tooting?”

Yea WHY LOL

I actually quite like the fact that a man like him is happy living in a one-bed flat in Tooting.

I dont

He lives in Tooting.

Ew

Now she lives in Tooting in what appears to be a one-bedroom flat.

Why!!!!!

Tooting High Street is generally unprepossessing but is not as bad as it sounds.

It sounds awful

I think you’re a psychopath, Jonathan, I actually do. I’m sorry, but that’s just the truth.”

Mhm

There is literally nothing now that is going to make her want to be with you. She’s over you, Jonathan. It’s done.”

Now i know thats right

“Christ, Jonathan. You are such a bullshitter. Literally every word that comes out of your mouth is a lie.”

But now I’m penniless on a sofa in Tooting for God knows how long,

Good

and then I drive slowly back to Tooting,

Why

who both hate the new wife and, by extension, the baby,

I get it
