If it wasn't too hot to move I would strangle her right now. I am getting sweatier. It needs to rain, to clear the air. As soon as that thought crosses my mind, I find a good word. She tells me she has lousy letters. She plays FAN, with the F on a double-letter, and gets up to fill the kettle and turn on the air conditioning. It's the hottest day for ten years and my wife is turning on the kettle. She sits back down with a heavy sigh and starts fiddling with her letters again. The rage gets to my fingertips and passes. She plays READY on a double-word for 18 points, then goes to pour herself a cup of tea. I steal a blank tile from the letter bag when she's not looking, and throw back a V from my rack.

A story. He loved her in a distant kind of way, the same way the sun heats the Earth. If she were to disappear completely, he knew through pure logic that it would have no great, disastrous effect on him. He would not cease to be; he would not stop breathing; his heart would not stop beating; the world would not stop spinning. The sun would keep shining, radiating heat, if the Earth were not there. And yet... He loved her in an abstract kind of way, the way a bee loves honey. He loved her in a removed kind of way, the way a butterfly's wings can start a tsunami halfway around the world. He loved her in a subtle kind of way. And she loved him just the same. The smart thing to do.
