what they had and that was a bond that could not be broken. Two years later, after living lives apart, after adjusting to the post-Dionysus world in their own ways, they met again.

Penelope had transferred to UCLA, and Kevin called her up, asking if they could get together.

She agreed.

Two years later, they were married.

A year later, she became pregnant.

Penelope sat in the window seat of what was going to be the baby’s room and stared out the glass at the children playing in the street. She’d recently gotten her mothers’ money, and they both had good jobs, so the baby would not be a financial hardship. And, she supposed, she was happy. Kevin was a good husband, and she loved him.

He sat down on the window seat next to her, untied his tie. He looked at the box of sesame-cheese crackers and the empty container of yogurt by her feet. β€œCravings again?”

She laughed. β€œYeah.”

He put a hand on her distended stomach. β€œIs there anything else I can get you? Pickles and ice cream? Anchovies and orange juice?”

She started to say something, then looked away, shaking her head. β€œNo.”

β€œCome on.”
