• Mending fences

  The kettle whistled and he turned to pour the contents into a flask. Bette heard the kettle and stirred, her hand searching in the darkened room for her husband. She sat up and swung her legs over the side of their bed, curious about what got him up so early. She showered, changed and fussed…
