A Thread So Thin
“She scowled as I walked into the thickly carpeted waiting area of Best Laid Planners.
“You’re late. You’ve kept everyone waiting.”
Nice to see you, too.
“Sorry,” I said, which wasn’t true. I was late because I preferred Garrett’s company and kisses to Abigail’s orders and harangues. But I didn’t say that. Easier to go with the flow than start an argument.
A few months ago, starting arguments with Abigail, striking a match against the grit of her easily ignited temper, had been one of my favorit...e pastimes. It was entertaining and oh so easy to do. One quick jab, one sharp, well-placed bit of sarcasm touched to the fuse of Abigail’s ire, was all it took to set off a satisfyingly showy but ultimately harmless shower of sparks. But now, those formerly inert sparks had the power to sting, and I avoided them whenever possible.
Abigail started to say something just as Byron entered the waiting room carrying my dress. He chirped a cheery good morning before giving each of us a quick air kiss and asking us to follow him back to the dressing area.MoreLess
