“Oh yes, how terrible for you. Having to have a staff wait on you, having the world for yours to take due to being born into privilege and being so unbelievably bored at the prospect of living a life of leisure thanks to the genetic lottery you won that you threw it all away for a pursuit of a career that, quite frankly, is not your strong suit, shall we say.

Sorry if the expectations of being proper were unattainable for you. I hadn’t expected that to be outside of your reach.”
― Kathleen Lopez, Thirteen for Dinner
