"Good morning,"Sherl bubbled as Melissa stumbled out of the bedroom Monday morning.
"What day is this?"
"It's Monday. Don't tell me you've been sleeping all this time?"
"No. Just been pouring my heart into my poetry."
"I was gonna come in but I figured you'd come out when you were ready."
"How'd I get there anyway?"
"Nick carried you in there."
"He did?"
"You're surprised that he stayed."
"I don't know what to think Sherl."
"I know what you don't want to think. Don't think Nick was just a quick roll in the hay. He was here when I got home yesterday morning remember?"
"Is it wrong for me to be having these feelings so soon after I left Howie?"
"Speaking of which, what happened?"
"He pretty much called me a tramp and then in a last ditch attempt tried to make me feel guilty with that damn song."
"The song. I can't believe he did that."
"That's what sent me over the edge. No one had ever done anything like that for me in the world ever. He loved me then Sherl. I just can't make those feelings go away after just one week but I also can't deny the feelings I have for Nick."
"You know he called to check on you later yesterday."
Her face lit up.
"Look Mis, I have to go to work right now but promise me this, go see this lawyer,"she handed Melissa a card."He handled my divorce."
"Sherl,"she protested.
"Just let all the bad things outweigh the good things he did for you Mis. You know there are so many more bad things,"she closed the front door.
