Thrive to spite them
Matthew joked he was going to start a new conspiracy theory that Graham and McConnell were secretly in love or it was one sided on Graham's part and the distress of McConnell being left in this limbo caused a heart attack.

I'm at lunch on the last included meal stop of this tour, and wound up sharing a table with a Moroccan family who are all speaking French, and it is really fucking with my ability to think and respond in Spanish with the staff and tour guides!
