"Well, at least that's over with!"
She pulled the dish towel
from her waistband with
a locker-room-worthy snap.
Those of us lingering
over coffee at the table
held our breath for a moment
until, from the next room,
the television's hum
broke the silence. Relief
seeped into the room, with
the fragrance of a fresh
pot of coffee. The conversation
continued, and someone
reached out to cut another
slice of pecan pie.
