I guess I thought it should take more than a final cup of coffee and an unguarded front door. More like a cougar and a mountain goat, heading for a ledge, at each other’s throats. But there are no teeth marks, no trouble, no sign of a struggle. The dressing table waits, prepared, to get dragged across the landing and thrown down the stairs. But the bannisters remain intact and a jar of dying snowdrops stands there crying out to be smashed. For there are no teeth marks, no trouble, no sign of a struggle. I expect our friends and families will be on hand and understanding, and I’ll be disappointed to report that the knives stayed safely tucked up in their drawer. And the weather, ever contrary, meets my barely flaring temper with a pleasant morning breeze. What am I supposed to do with this?
