After heating up his dinner, Frank sat across from Gloria so they could discuss their dispute—so things wouldn’t explode into another argument.
Frank started. “All the kids are gone, at least there’s that.”

Frank pushed his peas around. “Over the past twenty-five years I occasionally anticipated we’d bust up—they say money or infidelity typically does relationships in.”
Gloria wiped her eyes. “Yeah, but I didn’t see this coming. I always figured we had the same political views, at least when we first got together.”
“Elections have consequences.”
