Peace in her World

Maddy opened the door and burst into laughter. There sat Kevin the toad looking dazed, with red wine dripping off his chin.

“What the hell?” he mumbled.

“Serves you right,” she said between laughs.

He rubbed his head and looked around, trying to make sense of what had happened. “I came to apologize. I made a mistake.” He squinted with wine-soaked eyelashes. “Several mistakes.”

“Yes you did, but an apology won’t make that right. No words will ever erase the image of you and that . . . that woman on our sofa.”

“I know it was wrong.” He stood up slowly.

“Uh, yeah.”

“I didn’t mean for it to happen.”

That’s what they all say. “You couldn’t keep it zipped, eh?” The night before he had told her he was too tired and that doubled the hurt.

“No. Listen. You need to let me come in to explain it all. Give me a chance. Then if you want to throw me out, you can.”

Maddy eyed him narrowly. They had been together for five years. The wedding had been set for May. They had monogramed napkins for the reception and she had in her closet the wedding dress of her dreams. Shouldn’t she at least listen to him? “Okay, come in.”

Kevin rubbed his head one more time and collected the smashed roses. As he entered the house he handed her a bunch of broken, long-stemmed flowers missing petals.

She put them directly into the garbage, which now smelled of coffee and roses. Cullen took the door from Kevin’s hand and slammed it shut.

“What the?”

“Never mind the door. It does that sometimes. Wind currents or something.”

“Since when?”

“What did you want to tell me?”

“Oh. That. The day you walked in on me with the other woman . . . it had been a horrible day at the office. I lost a big account and Jenkins threatened to . . .”

The fruit bowl on the counter turned upside down, emptying all the apples. It then floated through the air to the sink. Kevin stopped talking and watched. His Adam’s apple went up and then down. The tap turned on, the bowl filled with water and then it headed through the air to him.

Kevin ran from the house screaming, with the bowl following a foot behind his head. He didn’t look back.
