Susan
Though the sky was unbroken blue, the cold wind whistled through bare tree boughs. The bent, frozen sidewalk seemed slipperier under his feet, the crooked concrete conspiring to toss him on his ass.
And he’d deserve it, he thought, for playing a sure thing against a fantasy. No one had taken better care of him than Susan. But he was bewitched by Wendy, the way she talked baby talk when they made love. Is him a widow happy boy? And all thoughts of Sue vanished.
But when he slipped, his ankle splaying backward, the hospital room re-introduced him to Susan.
