It’s been a while since I last posted and things have been happening. Firstly Agamemnon’s been away for months now and we’ve yet to receive a single phone call. I don’t mind so much but Orestes really looks up to his father (pains me to say it) and it would mean a lot to him if he called. This is especially the case as whenever Orestes calls him there is no answer. Today I tried to get in touch with him and actually succeeded, he finally picked up! But what does he say when he answers? “Chryseis, is that you?... Cassandra?” Try Clytemnestra you despicable man. I shouldn’t have been shocked really to hear other women’s names as I always suspected he was not faithful to our ‘marriage’ as I was. But it was just unfortunate for him that I happened to get this evidence of his sleeping around when I had yet to grill him over the whole Demodocus issue.
Once I’d shouted for a good twenty minutes, I brought up the reason for my call. I couldn’t have been more surprised when he agreed that not only hadn’t he had much contact with the kids, but that I should bring them over for a week so he could see them. I have never been so shocked in my life. However not wanting to jinx what I was hearing I quickly agreed and booked the flights for three weeks from today. Orestes will be so glad.
In other news, I took Aegisthus up on his offer for coffee and it’s since become a weekly thing. Sometimes two times a week. I can’t describe how nice it is to be with someone who listens to what I have to say. I feel we have grown much closer these past few months and that I’ve found someone I can truly trust.
