    Beth dragged the bulging bag outside enraged. You would think after 20 years of marriage her husband would get the hint about his responsibilities around the home. You would think that friendly reminders would do the trick. You would think that circling the days of garbage pick up on the fridge calendar would jog his memory. Well, think again.“He’s just so dense.” Beth muttered to herself when all the recycling and garbage was neatly put to the curb. She slammed the front door behind her and stalked into the brightly lit kitchen to fix up supper.  Seeing how badly the pale blue paint on the w...vWfone door

After a week of mundane work, reading a book while snuggled in a chair against the cool window with a cup of hot tea was the perfect way to relax. The soothing pitter-patter of the drops on her window hypnotized Bailey deeply into her book and for a brief moment, she got to feel like she was part of the perfect, beautiful family in her book.
