"Great," one more thing that needs my attention. She stopped in the kitchen, looked at the white sink full of dirty dishes, looked at the marbled countertops covered in old mail, then she looked at the deep blue kitchen table with purposeful mix-matched chairs, HGTV style, covered with dead petals. She began to question the existence of responsibility that piled before her. She wanted to clean, but she also wanted to embrace the few hours of solitude.
