You have this lack of communication pegged perfectly, David. So many silly games. Just talk about how you feel, for heaven's sake! Thanks for reading, David, and for your subscription! Welcome!
Holding grudges probably does NO one any good. However... in this case, we don't know. Did she forget to buy ice cream? Or did she lose the $400 concert tickets? Or cheat on him? Best not to judge, maybe.
He mights 's well be really reading. He could be there a very long time. Long enough to wonder if its worth getting another appology or just parting ways.
The title has so many meanings. At least he’s very handsome😅, and probably intellectual (depending on his reading material). I’m going to assume he perks up and finds a better match.
I like your stories a lot. Tolstoy, Ayn Rand, Steven King, Dostoyevsky and Edward Gibbon could learn much from you. Also, anyone who writes books about Hitler.
On Douglas Adams’ planet Lemuella, writers simply stopped writing, I believe, on page 800, regardless of how the plot was progressing. There is some virtue in that approach, too. I don’t know if they wrote sequels.
Thanks for your comment, Mr Switter, about the length of my stories. I have written one 260-page story. It took A LOT of time. I 'll not try that again. I dedicate my time now to pieces of 50 words, up to six chapters. The closer I get to death, the shorter my work becomes it seems. I am so old, I don't even buy unripe bananas.
People waste many of the beautiful days of their lives focusing on petty disagreements. Better to take a walk together in silence and let the Spring breeze work it's magic.
Oh! Thanks for saying that, Bill. You are very kind. These little stories, with their constraint, look easy, but they are not. They are such excellent practice in separating wheat from chaff.

Awww - you made my day, David. Thank you!
This looks so peaceful and totally quiet. Bliss.
Yes. Too bad he is making the choice not to enjoy it!
Ι wish I could enjoy similar surroundings... maybe I'd be a bit happier and not as sick and depressed as I am... (sniff)
I feel for your situation, AT.
Thanks, Sharron.... every kind word counts more than you can believe (sniff)
Better to be sweet than bitter, take some sugar with that coffee.
Yes! Life is very short.
Sharply observed.
Thanks, kids!
Not a recipe for a good relationship.

Or just forgiving her whatever the transgression was? Lots of options are better than sulking.
.. th poor lad.. thoughts n prayers eh .. 🦎🏴☠️🎬
Ah, well, maybe she's had enough. Communication may be a little off.

X-Men comic books? Tolstoy? Your solution is certainly an option! Glad you noticed the many meanings of"still life".
Definitely Tolstoy!

This is the best idea ever. Wait it out together. Might work out, might not, but at least the sunshine was not wasted.
This seems like the best course of action. Excellent story, Sharron—the picture is a perfect pairing!
Not the best of ideas. - he could be waiting a long time.
He sure could. Maybe a little compromising is called for?What a concept!
Good!
Thanks, Ms Brown
Better yet, just say outloud HEY I need an appology here.
You captured the essence of emotion.
Oh! Thanks for saying that, Bill. You are very kind. These little stories, with their constraint, look easy, but they are not. They are such excellent practice in separating wheat from chaff.
Being bitter is poison!
I think you are right, Yael. Like rage, it is all pervasive.
I'm a big fan of apologies. And forgiveness.
Thanks, sweet girl!
