This short story was full of emotion. Sometimes the words bristled with anger; other times they were weighted by sadness and regret. This is the story of a marriage definitely in a rough patch, that hard place where a person has to decide how to find a way back to what once was and maybe could be again, or to decide that it's time to call it quits, forsaking any old promises for a new but separate happiness.This couple, living together physically but emotionally apart, fights over the small and the large, no wrong escaping angry notice, and no word avoiding a bitter rejoinder. There is talk of trying to save the marriage, talk of fighting for something instead of against it, and talk of divorce and contingency plans, but there are some situations you cannot really plan for, those times when you wish you had made a different and better choice when you had the chance.This story was bittersweet, making a very touching point about marriage, love, and those opportunities to make things right again. Some choices can't be undone, and if you care about someone even the smallest bit, never let it be too late to say so.
