“I’m filing for divorce, Janelle.”
Janelle closed the refrigerator door.
“You’re going to end our marriage because you can’t come to terms with my new relationship with Jesus Christ?”
“No,” Daniel said, “I’m ending it because you gave twenty percent of our income to a guy who interprets a book for you out of a defunct movie theater.”
“That’s unfair.”
“It’s certainly not untrue.”
“People change, Daniel.”
Daniel lowered his voice.
“Yes, Janelle, people change. Some people go from liking Pearl Jam to liking Michael Bublé. This is bigger than that, though I would probably divorce you over Bublé too.”
I simply cannot believe you started this long ago and have sustained a story-a-day since then. Did you have any idea what kind of commitment you were taking on? Perfect that the divorce is announced at the fridge door. And that he lowers his voice to make his point.
Kinda wanna sidetrack and talk about Pearl Jam….
Shooot! I scrolled back again, hoping to find a "next" button but dont see one. I am both a dedicated and a stupid cuss. Shoulda given it a test earlier. oh well.
