The Devoted One
Tonight’s lesson had been short and simple, just a pop quiz in what would be a complete course in love and respect.
Question 1: Was it right to treat me the way you did? To end things between us for no good reason?
Correct answer: No, it was not.
Question 2: Will you get in touch with me so we can make things right again?
Correct answer: Yes, I will.
The Devoted One had no doubt that they could get past this, that the two of them could get back together and move on, the last few weeks amounting to nothing more than a rough patch in what would otherwise be a long, happy life together. It was a shame the cops had to be involved, but if that’s what it took to get some attention, to reopen the lines of communication, well, then that’s what it took.
With a lighter heart, the Devoted One settled back under the covers.
