Stella

Stella had been thinking a lot about her walk with Richard for the rest of that day. When she got home, she found herself imagining him as a small child. In a bedroom surrounded by books and computers. Years ago, she remembered reading about parents who were purchasing black and white toys for their children instead of brightly colored ones because it was supposed to foster smarter toddlers. She imagined that Richard’s parents were probably people like that. He more than likely had a nursery that didn’t even have bright colors in it. It was no wonder he seemed not to know how to have any fun.

She was making herself lunch when she got a phone call out of the blue. Without thinking she answered it.

“Hello?”

“Hey,” he said with a little laugh. “I’m surprised you picked up.”

Curtis. Again! She pulled the phone away from her ear and saw that this time he was calling from a different number. “What do you want, Curtis?”

Curtis paused and said, “The same thing I’ve been wanting. Time with you to talk things out. ”

Stella felt like she was in the twilight zone. “You’re joking, right? This is a joke. Or you’re suffering from short-term memory loss or something, right? That’s gotta be it.”

“Listen, Stel, I know our divorce was a messy one,” he said, “but that doesn’t mean that everything after has to be that way. We were friends before this. Maybe we can be friends again.” “I don’t think so,” she said, stiffening. “In fact, I’m pretty sure the last thing I would want to be is friends with someone who decided to make it his mission to destroy my life.”

He made a tsking noise with his teeth. “Oh, it wasn’t really that bad, was it?” he said and Stella felt her blood pressure start to rise. “Look, why don’t we go out for coffee and talk this out? My treat. I think that maybe if we had a real conversation about what happened, we can come to some kind of arrangement.”

“You’re out of your mind,” said Stella. “I lost my job because of you. My reputation is ruined because of you. How can you do the things you did to me and now come back and act like everything is fine? They’re not! You messed everything up for me.”

“Okay, okay,” he said. He had a strange tone of voice that Stella didn’t like. He sounded like he was placating her. Patting her on the hand and telling her that everything was going to be all right like she was a three-year-old. It was only making her angrier.

“I’ll tell you what. You were right. I shouldn’t have called you. Clearly, you need a little more time to think about things,” he said. “So, that’s what I’ll do. I’ll give you a few days to think about us some more. After that, I’ll give you a call and we can reconnect. I might even be willing to go to your old boss and clear things up with them.
