Katie's mum, Penny, said I don't know why you're wasting your time with him. If he's forty-two and never been married, he's hardly likely to get married now.And Katie's sister Naomi had the darkest prediction. He'll make mincemeat of you.He won't, Katie protested. I'm not going to fall for him.So why are you bothering at all?Just killing time until I die.
Katie's mother, Penny, expresses skepticism about her daughter's interest in a man who is 42 and has never been married, questioning the likelihood of him changing now. Penny's doubts hint at a broader concern for Katie’s emotional well-being. Similarly, Katie's sister, Naomi, is even more critical, predicting that this relationship could end badly for Katie, implying that the man might be manipulative or harmful.
Katie, however, defends her decision, insisting that she's not going to fall for him. She seems to view her interactions with him as a mere distraction rather than a serious relationship, describing it as just "killing time" in her life. Her comments reflect a sense of resignation about her future and suggest she may be searching for hope in a situation others view negatively.
