Laying in his bed after an exhausting examination of his estranged
wife’s body Kenny asked
“What are you doing here? you
didn’t say you were returning to Downshire”
They had been
separated for two years after Elaine was offered and accepted a promotion which
meant her relocating to Boston, believing he would relocate with her, she was
wrong.
“You didn’t ask” she replied
“No, I didn’t,” he
acknowledged “but that’s because you said you weren’t coming back”
“Change of plans” she said “I’m on a three-month sabbatical”
“Three months” Kenny exclaimed “what’s the catch?”
“Why does there have to be a catch” she said defensively
“There always is” he pointed out,
“I’m relocating” Elaine retorted
“Where to?” he asked
“Abbottsford” she replied, and he
thought he had misheard her
“Abbottsford?” he asked, “How long for?”
“That depends” Elaine replied
“On what?” he said
“You” she replied “Because if you don’t want me back in your life I’ll
head back to Boston”
“Of course, I want you back” he said “I never wanted you to go”
“Then I’m staying for ever” she replied, and they made love again.
