One summer evening in 1992, Teddy was watching television when Lana phoned.
“I need to talk with you.”
Teddy drove to her house and could tell she’d been crying.
“What’s up?”
“Ike just called me and says he wants a divorce.”
Shocked, Teddy felt a heavy sensation in his stomach as if he swallowed a brick. How Lana felt, he couldn’t even imagine. Their marriage appeared perfect, and this sent ripples through their lives, changing many things. Teddy did his best to continue working for Ike but found it strange, so he quit. Teddy didn’t know what his next move should be. One morning leaving the post office, Teddy saw a help-wanted sign hanging in a doughnut shop window. Teddy walked inside feeling unsure, but the manager gave him a job. It wasn’t much money, but he accepted the offer.
