My ex looks even worse than she did the last time I saw her, when she was pleading for more money. We all age, men and women alike. That’s life, and I’m no spring chicken myself. Some people age and still look glorious. Mitch is a testament to the power of looking after yourself properly.
But Marlene; bloated, eyes pouchy, with a touch of hung-over about them…
She sits again, tugging down a too-short pencil skirt as it rides up her thighs. Her four-inch stilettos, surely expensive when new, are scuffed, the leather tired. Her hands, pudgy fingered with nails like scarlet claws, are decked with rings set with enormous glitzy stones. And her make-up, caked-on and obvious, would better suit a twenty-year-old Clubber.
Did she dress up to give a police interview?
I was married to this…
Mar
