He knew that the moment he said it, the whole story would come out. AuntSylvie is probably the only person HayWire knows with whom he could possibly share intimate, personal anxieties. But she\u2019s not married, she has no children of her own, can she really understand domestic strife?<\/p>\n She probably can. Her niece lives there. She and Hayley know each other intimately, like mother and daughter.<\/p>\n Part orphanage, part old people\u2019s home, part hospice, and part adult education centre, the Noble Coliseum is a microcosm of society all within one building. AuntSylvie must have come across every type of heartache, anguish and pain imaginable.<\/p>\n She must be a saint to handle all of this without suffering a mental breakdown of her own.<\/p>\n AuntSylvie knows what Poteen is. It\u2019s illegal to sell it, none of the stores have it, and only the farming community can produce it using one or two illicit stills.<\/p>\n \u201cThey get Poteen from work. They probably drink it at<\/em> work. They both come home drunk sometimes. I\u2019m sure some of the neighbours hear some kind of trouble at night.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDo they work on Saturdays?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cNo, not today …\u00a0 I don\u2019t know what started it … but they didn\u2019t have any lunch, they were just drinking … and then they started fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFighting?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey were fighting each other.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cUh huh?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cAnd I tried to stop it.
