Beloved Stranger
“Susan wrote in her journal one evening two weeks after the dinner in New York, “but I can’t seem to organize my life and get down to writing anything. There’s no excuse, really. Maria does the housework and a great deal of the cooking. I only have the baby to deal with. But somehow there never seems to be any time.”
She sighed and looked out the window. The main problem, she thought, was Ricardo. He had spent the last few weeks building shelves in the baby’s room and he had had the foundation p...oured for an addition to the garage. He had come home a week ago with a new Volvo station wagon for her, which needed garage space as the present two-car garage housed Ricardo’s Mercedes and the new sports car he had won as MVP of the World Series. When they got back from Bogota he was going to have the new garage addition framed out and then he would finish it himself.
All of these were Ricardo’s projects but they seemed to eat incessantly into Susan’s time. He needed someone to hold his hammer, to hold a board straight, to run to the store for sandpaper.MoreLess
