The rain finally stopped or at least reverted back to a drizzle. I stood in the bay window with my arms crossed, taking in the view of my neighbor’s home and how green all of our lawns were. I wondered what each of our neighbors were doing. Were children playing? Were the families sitting around the table talking about the happenings of the day? Was laundry being tossed in the washing machine? Were any of the women as unhappy as I was in their marriage? Was anyone harboring secrets like I was?

The clatter of footsteps let me know Devin was coming up the stairs. Each step was slow but firm, like he was trying to keep his balance. I never looked back. I listened until I knew his measured steps brought him in eye view of me.

“What did you do to me?” he asked groggily.

I turned to see him holding the back of his head. His clothes were soaking wet, and his eyes were squinting like the light in the room was too bright for him to focus. I was surprised his ass didn’t drown. After all, he did fall face-first.

“What are you talking about, Devin?” I asked as I walked over to the sofa and plopped down. I picked up the glass of wine I’d poured for myself and took a long sip. I never took my eyes off my husband as he looked bewildered at me.

“You hit me.”

I swallowed the sweet red wine before saying, “No, I didn’t.”

“Yes, you did,” he argued.

“Okay, I did. Now what?”

With widened eyes he tilted his head slightly at my nonchalant words. He was still unsteady on his feet, but the pained expression he gave me had little effect on me.

“You left me down there unconscious.”

“I sure did.”

“How did you know I wasn’t dead?”

“I didn’t,” I said frigidly.

“So you didn’t care?”

“Not at that particular moment, no.”

“You really are a crazy—”

Expression dead serious, I said, “Watch your mouth, Devin. I hit you once. I can hit you again. Maybe this will teach you not to call me out of my name.”

I meant what I said. And I think he knew it too as my dark eyes bore into him. I’d dealt with a lot with Devin, and today was definitely not an exception. But I’d be damned if this man—or any man—was going to call me a bitch whenever he felt the need.

“As long as we’ve been together, Devin, you have never called me a bitch. And you are not going to start now. You can call me baby, Monica, sugar, sweetie, and even crazy. But you better not ever—as long as there is breath in your body—call me a bitch.”

We stared each other down. I meant what I said, and that knot on the back of his head let him know I was dead serious.

“Are there any other others I needed to stay clear of?” he asked.

“Cunt is another. Georgiana is another.”

Devin nodded and understood. This was a serious hiccup, and our marriage was in jeopardy, and she was the cause of it.
