A long wait — 75 words

She’ll come around eventually, I know. We promised, one decade and
three kids ago, never to let the sun go down on our wrath. Saved our

We’ll make up and laugh it all off. She just needs time to cool down.

I shivered and sank back into my parka. Blasted midnight sun. It’s
going to be a long wait.
