Scene from a marriage
May 13, 2017 at 6:26 AM by Dr. Drang
Early morning in a bedroom in Kalorama. A cell phone lights up and vibrates on one of the nightstands.
I: Uhhh. Jared… Jared? He’s up already. Can you go over and settle him back down? Take the phone away.
J: Mmmf. I went yesterday. Your turn.
I: Pleeease? I was up late bookmarking Wikiquotes.
J: He’s your father.
I: Let’s not talk about fathers. At least mine never went to jail.
J: (mumbles) Not yet.
I: What?
J: I said “I’ll get it.” Call the car while I get dressed.
