Chapter Twenty-Three

Sam diligently loaded the dishwasher, pondering her next move. The clanging of dishes and ticking of the kitchen wall clock were the only sounds in the silent house. Mollie was with Jo, the two of them sequestered in the master bedroom and already sleeping for all Sam knew. The end of dinner had been a disaster.

Leaving on Wednesday morning meant a new reality without Jo was soon approaching. Sam had to do something and fast, because the alternative of having a new pen pal instead of a long-distance lover was distressing.

Her phone pinged, and she picked it up to see a new message from Trish. The subject line was, I can’t wait until you get home. Sam tossed her phone on the counter and resumed cleaning up the dishes. She knew Trish wanted her back, was willing to forgive her eviction notice and sudden departure, but Sam had realized the futility of this relationship months before ending it. She didn’t love Trish and never had. The sex had been great, but passion soon sizzled out as Sam wished for something more.

She wanted her heart to palpitate for her lover, longed to melt in her eyes, and needed to see a long-term future together. They had discussed it a few times, but Trish was content to exist in a relationship with no future and undefined boundaries. Perhaps it was the age difference. Trish was only twenty-five to her thirty-seven, but Sam suspected it was more than that. She needed to feel completed by her partner in life. The way she felt with Jo.

The clock struck eight as Sam wiped the kitchen counter for the last time, every crumb and streak cleared up. She threw her cloth into the sink and resolved to approach Jo after a quick bathroom break.
