~Nan Willard Cappo

He smiled at me with a small chuckle. Then, he waved me over towards him.

I hesitantly approached him at the opposite end of the café that I get coffee from every morning.

"Hello, honey."

"I am not your wife. I am not your 'honey'."

"Come on! Don't be like that."

I turned away from him and strode away a few steps. This is the man that destroyed my heart, my mind, my life, "I don't ever want to see you again. I hope you die." I spit the last word like poison on my tongue.
