鈥淚 would've screamed. I would've shouted. I would've cried out. I would've protested. I would've given a million reasons to not leave this world.鈥� Michael and Petra left their house and the logistics of their afterlife to their friend Patty鈥攗nbeknownst to Patty鈥檚 sister Virginia, who considered herself one of Michael and Petra鈥檚 best friends. Patty and Virginia have different perspectives on what Michael and Petra did, but they agree on what it was like to be around them as a couple: awestruck and a bit excluded, something even Alice and Leon pick up on while looking at their dozens of photo albums. If you are suffering distress or despair, details of help and support are available at bbc.co.uk/actionline.
