The Dating Chronicles

Caught!

Susan was angry again.  She had been seeing Hank for over six months and she had known the risk.  He had been on the rebound from a former love when she first met him.  She had tried to keep her feelings in tow until she felt convinced of his recovery.  But it had been tough. 

She had fallen in love, and he seemed oblivious to her feelings.  She heard he was seeing his ex again, and she learned the truth when she followed him one night.  Now, she stood in her window watching…hoping and praying, as she waited again for him to come. 

It had been hours now and still no sign of him.  This was the fourth time he had stood her up in two weeks. The tears and anger came together as she realized the truth.  She knew where he was as she dressed slowly and developed a plan.  It was 2:00 in the morning as she drove quietly down the familiar street.  She had been there before, many times in the dark. 

The shine on his red car was bright under the street lamps as she passed and parked in front of it.  She felt apprehension as she slowly approached the car, with tears streaming down her face.  But the fear dissolved slowly as she slashed each tire flat with a knife.  She knew she would never be suspected.  A woman of her stature would never do such a thing.  She felt avenged as she hurriedly got back into her car.

Unfortunately, it wouldn’t start…and she ended up leaving it because she thought a tow truck would cause attention to her presence.
