The Wild Card

Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Pippa Hartley sits in a booth, practically encased by her goalie husband, Jamie, the subject of many of her sappy love songs. Georgia sighs with the wistful, happy expression of someone madly in love. In the living room, Phoebe sits on her chair, ragged breath sawing in and out of her squashed face while her tail flicks. Sometimes it’s easier to turn the feelings off and not care.
