Cleaning the stains from dinner. — A story in 100 words.

The laundry needed doing.

They sat, eyes locked & arms folded. 
Silently screaming: “YOU FUCKING DO IT!”

Sitting in a pile, their clothes carried the stains from your stereotypical dinner of demise: hubris, stubbornness, vulnerability — a pinch of fear & baggage.

Cooked properly? A Michelin starred dinner.
Cooked improperly? Ice cold haggis.

Love affairs aren’t chess matches. 
Love affairs are doing laundry.

She unfolded her arms & smiled: “You know where it is.”

The thing was, with her — he didn’t.
