Excerpt from “Handcuffs and a Pyramid of Satin”:
Flight from Reality
Room 222 was a hilarious high school sitcom back in
the early 1970’s. But there was nothing at all funny about the series of twos
in Kelly Cavenaugh’s life. Kelly thought
about her current situation and breathed a pathetic sigh as she sat waiting in
the airport for her connecting flight. She had been married for exactly two
years, two months, and two days and already she knew she’d married the wrong
man.
Kelly slid over on the blue attached seats in the
airport waiting area to make room for a frazzled mother to fit in with her three
active kids. Kelly couldn’t help but smile as the head of the smallest child
bumped her elbow. The little girl glanced at her mother’s stern face and
immediately burst into tears.
“I’m so sorry,” said the mother. “Please excuse her. I’m trying to keep them still.”
“No problem,” said Kelly, rummaging through her
purse for a tissue to catch the drops of coffee dribbling down her cup. Thank goodness the lid hadn’t come off, she
thought. Hot coffee would have splashed
all over this child’s face. Once the
mother had the kids momentarily settled and sharing a pack of fruit Mentos,
Kelly returned to her thoughts.
