The beat of the music filled the air. Her eardrums felt like they were undulating in time with the rhythmic beating of drums pounding out of the black stereo unit in the corner of the lounge room. The floor boards bucked beneath her bare feet as Karina cautiously put the glass on the side table next to the remains of chips, beer bottles and half-full glasses .

After five long years with her, he admitted to sleeping with her sister. It was a long term-relationship, he said. Of course, he knew it meant breaking their engagement, but he’d got her sister pregnant, so needed to commit fully to the other woman.

The two-timing, scum-sucking cow! The words rolled off her
