Trae fought to rein in his anger. He had to stay in control. He disconnected, tossed the cordless phone over his shoulder, slouched in his recliner, then took in the flat. He had Ebony decorate it years ago in hopes she would change her mind and take him back.

Everything was blinding white or crystal clear, from the carpet to the swirled, painted ceiling. He had so much darkness in his life that his apartment comforted him. It reminded him of the light at the end of the tunnel.

After seeing how she decorated Richard’s place, his heart admitted what his head had been saying all along. He had lost Ebony.

He snarled. She decorated his flat for him, and Richard’s condo for them. He pushed a magazine out of the way and grabbed his leather photo album. A giant red, black, and green imprint of Africa decorated its cover. Ebony added color to everything.

She had given him the album for Christmas. At the time he wondered what the heck she was thinking, but lately he found consolation in the images. She had compiled pictures from when they were kids all the way through the previous fall.

As he thumbed through the photos, he could tell when she fell out of love with him. In their early photos you could see the love in both of their eyes, then her inner light dimmed and a year of photos was missing.

He kicked the coffee table over, cracking its glass top in the process. That year without Ebony was the worst of his life. He flipped the page to Ebony holding baby Crystal. Sparks flickered in Ebony’s eyes, but they were for Crystal, not Trae.

He slammed the album closed. There had to be a way to convince her they belonged together. He wasn’t the same stupid kid, and could protect them as he always had. He kicked the table out of his way, then snatched up the Homes Magazine it covered.

He had picked out a house for Richard and Ebony. He flipped to the page containing a 3500-square-foot ranch home he knew she would love. This should be our home.

He flung the magazine across the room, hopped out of the recliner and flipped it over. “She is mine!” He grabbed the end table and threw it across the room into the stereo.

The Bose system crashed to the floor. He kicked the magazine rack. It flew across the room, causing a huge dent in the wall. Rage consumed him. He wanted to tear the flat up as much as he was torn up inside. The next thing he knew, he was beating what was left of his flat-screen television with a bat.

Skeet burst in with his gun drawn. “What the hell?”
