Eksempel:	August was too hot...
	August is too hot…

August was too hot to walk outside. The day after I got Julian’s message, I went alone to Pacific Place and walked a circuit past luxury outlets and American coffee shops. Outside Celine I mussed my hair to look like a dishevelled rich girl, then went in and tried on a white blazer. […] The salesgirl seemed to feel that this also held for the rest of me. If I bought everything in the shop then she would have to accept that I was important – and really, I could spend my whole life proving that. I could probably get Julian to marry me if I said it was to satirise men who had wives, and then it would only be a matter of not taking too much money at once. He would certainly let me have enough for everyone to think I mattered. Eight days till he returned. My savings account had more than enough for a deposit now. I could move tomorrow if I wanted. I had nothing to fear from Julian coming back. Naoise Dolan, "Exciting Times", 2021
