020 – Wait for You

Tim had gotten a job, a good job selling tools inter-state.

And Jill was happy for him, really she was, because Tim had had a chain of crappy jobs in an effort to support their young family, and this was a good job, she assured herself, good money.

So what if she was here alone a lot, stuck at home with baby Brad and an ever-growing belly, so what if maybe she didn't see him as much as she used too. To keep him from this job would be selfish, greedy.

They had a roof over their heads, they had food on the table, it wasn't too important that Tim wasn't here all the time to enjoy it.

Maybe what bothers her is the way men speak to her now, many think she's a single mum, an easy lay.

She denies all offers quite furiously, married she says, happily married.

She'll wait for Tim to come home, thank you very much.


End.
