The Lost Women of Lost Lake
“Wendell and Ruth sat in the front seat of Wendell’s minivan, looking through the windshield wipers at the home he’d once owned. It was a modified A-frame, with a front deck facing the water. The house was everything he’d ever wanted and more. With the prominently displayed FOR SALE signs, one on the dock and one at the end of the gravel road leading to the property, he assumed it was still on the market.
“We loved living there,” he said, working some fake sadness through his vocal cords, someth...ing he’d developed to hide his rage.
“It’s a beautiful home. Did you own a boat?”
“A rowboat. Nothing fancy. Mary Jo and I would row out in the evenings after work and eat a picnic dinner on the water. Those were some of our best times.” He turned to Ruth, pressed his hand to hers. “I didn’t think I’d ever find another woman to love. How did I get so lucky?”
