Example: The Heel of the Loaf

Here is a story an editor shared with me, some years ago. An elderly couple are having dinner, and are fighting heatedly. The argument gets louder and louder; they fight like this many nights and go to bed bitter with each other. As they fight, the husband is serving food onto his plate and his wife’s. At one point, he slices the loaf of bread on the table and puts the heel of the loaf on his wife’s plate.

“And that’s another thing!” she yells. “Why do I always get the heel of the loaf? What am I, a servant?”

He doesn’t reply, and she falls silent when she sees the shock on his face.

There is a pause.

When the husband breaks the silence, his voice is soft and filled with wonder, concern, and a little hurt. “That’s my favorite piece.”
