Susan

The only words Susan knew how to say were titles of her favourite flicks.
She would say them to let me know her current mood.
If she was angry she would shout “Gorrilas in the mist”.
If she was depressed she would quietly whisper “Schindlers list”
If she was feeling a bit trapped in the relationship but optimistic that it would have a happy ending she would say “Shawshank Redemption”
If I wanted to make love to her but it was that time of the month, she would snap at me the name of any period drama.
But when my birthday came around she didn’t have to think
She would simply say the words “Basic Instinct”.
