Status Updates From La señora Osmond

'I told him I wanted nothing more than that he should leave me alone and let me be. He demanded to know why I would even think of returning to Rome and all that awaited me there, and I said I would do it if only to get away from him. Oh, I was horrible, horrible.'
'You sound as if you're proud of yourself for it.'
'Do I? Perhaps I am. There's horror for you.'
