"You know what Hans told me last week?" Laurel says, " He told me to write down a list of everything I wanted to say about that women - and then tear it up. He said I'd feel a sense of freedom."

"oh right," Becky say interestedly. "So what happened?"

" I wrote it all down," says Laurel. "And then I mailed it to her."
