A Wife's Dilemma
A calming sensation in my shoulders from kneading the round dough was helping me to forget the dilemma I had with my husband. Stress baking was a kind of relaxation for me. Cooking cake after cake dripping in melted chocolate had become a meticulous hobby of mine but it also made me feel peaceful plus it had become a lifelong career. It cured me of my devastating mind as I sprinkled flour over the dough and continued to roll it. Then the doorbell chimed, making me jump. I rinsed the white powdery flakes from my hands under the cold running water and dried them with a tea towel. I stood in front of the full-length mirror and looked at my disheveled self. My long black hair was tangled and a mess as it fell in curls down my back. I hadn't bothered to comb it today or fix it. My black dress flowed down to my ankles revealing pink toenails in flip flops. I had known that this day would come. I opened the door to see a woman dressed in a blue suit.
