An Evening to Remember
BZZZZT BZZZZT BZZZZT! Goes my cellphone ringing on vibrate. One glance at the screen and my heart rate increases. I take a deep breath and answer with a nonchalant even tone. “Hey what’s up?” “Maaaan Amber took the kids to Blue Ridge because of this hurricane crap. She didn’t even tell me she was leaving! I just came home to an empty house. “ James’ soon to be ex-wife is always pulling little stunts like this, so to me, this wasn’t a shocker. “Awe damn. That’s messed up”, I say. I mean really what can you say to a man after his wife of 20 years continually finds ways to punish him. All because he wants a divorce from a loveless marriage. I guess he can tell that I have nothing to contribute to what he’s going through so he mumbles something about talking to me later and hangs up.
