They’ve seen things through to the end — and they know for sure now that they are not built for the long haul,” the friend said, as per Page Six . “No further unanswered questions. They’ve seen all they need to see, and it’s over.”
“In the end, it’s gonna be the most elaborate and expensive exercise in closure ever,” the friend added.
