“Surprisingly, yes.”
“And the survival kit?”
“He took it.”
“Think he’ll use it?”
“I hope so. Those clippers weren’t cheap.”
Surprisingly, yes.
She laughed. “Any regrets?”
“Only that I spent three years making excuses for him.”
“Could’ve been thirty.”
“True.”
“So, what happens when the next charming guy comes along?”
I spent three years making excuses for him.
“I’ll watch what he does, not what he promises.”
“And if his mother brings nail clippers?”
“I’ll show them both the door.”
My sister laughed.
For three years, I’d worried about being a good enough wife.
Turns out, I needed to learn how to stand up for myself.
I’ll watch what he does, not what he promises.
