Trafika Europe 11 - Swiss Delights

Terminus

My guests—of course, my guests! I can’t greet them like this, not in my pathetic state! They’ll realize I’m exhausted, they’ll see the dark circles under my eyes and they’ll think: poor thing, one more who can’t face the life of a modern woman. My god, I’m not up to it, I’m not up to it—what am I going to do? I won’t open the door, I won’t move, I’ll wait until they leave: they’ll think I forgot. That’s it. That’s good. I’ll tell them I was so overwhelmed with overtime that the evening just escaped me—and I’ll bend over backwards the next time so they’ll forgive me. As long as they leave. I just want to sleep. I need a little bit of energy.
