I looked at her in wonder.

“You mean…?”

She nodded slowly, watching me closely.

“That’s, that’s… wow!”

She smiled weakly, hoping for the best.

“So you’re okay with it?”

“Okay with it? Baby, I’m speechless! You mean that you and me… together we…?”

She nodded again, still watching me.

“Wow!”

The Colours of My Mind

I closed my eyes and the colours of my mind began to move. They danced and swirled, whirling and twirling together.

Maybe this time they would not have dogs.
Maybe this time he would make it.

The taillights disappeared and he stole silently into the land of opportunity.

Saying Goodbye

Talking for hours, we finally concluded the discussion, painful and embarrassing for us both.

Finally I said goodnight, put down the phone.

Looked at my mother and she nodded approvingly.

Divorce is a painful thing, disowning someone can be crushing! But both?
