This one is called Cherry.
Light-skinned; a perfect figure eight with smoky eyes.
And clingy. Divorce talk is basically foreplay around here…
“So you won’t leave him?”
“Cherry baby, we’ve been over this I have… responsibilities. Let’s just live in the moment, okay? Come on, come to bed.”
“One minute…”
I spot that metallic glint in her hand before Selene does.
Sprint. Swinging door. Scuffle.
Knockout. Thud.
Stares.
We stand there, Selene and I, taking in the whole scene. Then we turn to each other.
Finally, as if reading from the same invisible script, we skip through all exposition and explanation and I inhale all of her as we move into a deep embrace.
