3. US Attorney General Ruth Martin (aka Mom): “I have a story, too, Catherine.” Catherine: “I’d like to hear it.” Ruth: “It’s about a young girl who fell in love with the worst thing that ever happened to her. She loves it so much that she makes everyone relive it day after day after day. Nothing else matters. No air can come in. She makes everyone just smell it; she makes the whole house smell of it. She gave it her body; she’s in love and the only thing the people around her who love her ever wanted was for it to never, ever have happened.” Catherine: “If it never, ever had happened, Mom, you’d still be the junior senator from Tennessee.” (Kath M)
