Half His Age

Chapter 13

Not one but three sticky notes on the island this time, a trilogy of personal touches.

Happy Halloween, doll!! There’s a Twix bar in the fridge for you.

Know you like ’em cold. (next sticky note) Patched things up with Tony after all, thank God.

Was scared there for a minute, really thought things were over.

(next sticky note) A man could be good in both our lives, you know?

I want you to meet him soon. Maybe we could do a dinner. Xxoo, Mom

I grab the Twix out of the fridge and eat it on my way to my room. I go to tuck the sticky notes into my jewelry box, but I throw them away instead.
