Chapter 8

Guilt about wasting water hit me as I meticulously scrubbed every last inch of my five-foot eight-inch frame, prompting me to get out after a mere ten, fifteen minutes tops. The guilt of abandoning Robert in the middle of a tough conversation may have had something to do with it, too. When I emerged from the bathroom wrapped in a towel, I found him on the sectional, reading an Inside Gymnastics magazine. They’d been piling up all summer and fall. This must be the rare time he had to catch up on whatever kind of articles you found in a gymnastics magazine.

I stood at the end of the couch barely dressed, watching at him, but couldn’t bring myself to drop the towel and draw his attention away from coaching techniques, or some such invigorating topic. By the way his jaw muscles flexed, I suspected he was well aware of my presence, but was doing his best to ignore me. I was no seductress, and make-up sex wasn’t the resolution to this problem, so after a minute or two, I returned to the bedroom and dressed. Back on went the stiff jeans and restrictive blouse. I made sure to put on my engagement ring for good measure.

Dinner with Miranda and Lisa, and Robert’s gymnastics buddies was a couple of hours away and we now had this thing, this suggestion of postponing the wedding, hanging in the air.

I sat on the end of our bed. What was I going to do until dinner? Both of us needed some breathing space, so going back to the living room where Robert was stoically reading through his back issues wasn’t appealing. Stress baking wasn’t my thing, nor was stress cleaning, but my options in a one-bedroom apartment were limited. Pushing myself to a stand, I started with what was closest: a pile of laundry, clean and folded, but still sitting in the basket at the end of the bed.
