5 a Bad Egg
“My grandfather, our diner’s namesake Moose, had always called Gordon a bad egg, and no one but Ellen had ever had much cause to disagree with him. Like many girls who were not quite women yet, Ellen had gone out with Gordon initially because he was a bad boy, not in spite of it. She’d believed in her heart that she could change him, if only she had the chance, but five years into a hasty marriage, and two kids later, Gordon hadn’t changed one bit, and, to no one’s surprise, he left them in the ...middle of a snowy night in December.
As far as anyone knew, Gordon never gave another thought to his ex-wife and his children after he filed for divorce a year later, but that all changed the day he came back to town five years after he’d first left. Just as summer follows spring, I suppose that it was inevitable that mayhem would ensue, and as things always seemed to go, they centered around me and my extended family at The Charming Moose.
