The Key That Failed
It was the seventh year we spent living separately after the marriage. I came to see Blake Shaw, and once again, my key broke and was stuck in the keyhole.
I quickly called Blake. He said, "You probably got the wrong key again. Stay in a hotel. I'll come back and open the door."
I looked at the sticker on the key and froze. The key was right. He changed the locks.
Before I could think further, my father called, and he laughed heartily. "Of course he's out! He came over first thing in the morning, and he brought gifts!
Then, my best friend's call came in. She was drunk from the sounds of it. "He's drinking with Zack. Your man's growing to be a good drinker."
Then, my brother's call came.
