It was held together with duct tape and dreams, she told him.
Startled, he looked up from his bowl of granola. Why would you tape a duck? It seems to me super glue would be better for reattaching feathers.
She wanted to dump his cereal into his lap. He was always deflecting conversations that mattered, conversations about the two of them.
He either didn't or wouldn't understand the duct tape and dreams referred to their relationship. Had he really not picked up on the past tense in her statement?
She was glad her bags were already in the car. It would make things that much easier.
The cereal bowl found its way into his lap after all as she headed for the door.
