Michele: The Waiting Is The Hardest Part

The screen door banged shut. Sheryl glanced up from her solitaire game and saw Evan standing in the doorway as if he had just come in from having a cigarette.

Technically, he did. Too bad that cigarette was smoked four years ago.

“I’m back.”
“That was the world’s longest smoke break, Evan. Where ya been?”
“I dunno. Texas. Jail. Places.”
“You look old.”
“Life without you was hard.”
“Your choice.”
“I suppose.”
“We were supposed to go the movies that night, remember?”
“I’m sure we can still catch one.”
“We’re kinda late.”
“Well, better late than....”
“I’ll grab my jacket.”
