Thomas waved him off as he said, "Not sure why you're talking, I stopped caring about what you thought when I ditched you the last time. Oh, and as for you and your feelings, you and them can take three steps back and fuck right off for all I care." Thomas was swearing more, and he realized it. He made a mental note to keep it at a minimum again, his wife never liked it when he did that and he felt he was dishonoring her memory by using such foul language.
