At least I cooked us balanced meals, I wanted to say. But then I would remember the time A.K. had eaten every beet and complimented the dinner, though I discovered later how he detested the sight of beets. So I wouldn’t say anything to him.
As for as I was concerned, things couldn’t get much worse. So that rainy morning when I found a now-blue half-slip stuffed in a dresser drawer, I could only grit my teeth, l had it!
Lord, can’t you help him with just the basics of taking care of us? I stormed out of the house.
Ten minutes later, ignoring A. K.’s warning abort taking the shortcut in bad weather, I turned off the main route.
But as I rounded the corner a swirling mess gushed across my path. It can’t be that deep, I thought. But after a few feet, the car stalled. Almost 20 minutes passed, the care swayed. The chocolaty water surged. Please, God, I prayed, take care of me.
Three long blasts of horn interrupted my praying. Looking over my shoulder, A. K. !
“Donna!I’m throwing a rope,” he yelled. “Hang on to it and walk straight toward me. ”
I opened the door, grabbed the rope. I slipped in the rushing water, “I can’t!” I screamed, straining at the rope.
“Yes, you can. ” His voice was calm.
If it had been anybody but A. K. , I don’t think I could have done it. But I trusted my husband. I didn’t exactly as he instructed, and finally fell into his arms. “Thank you, ” I said, sobbing against his chest. “I’m sorry I got so angry with you. It’s just that ...”
“Sssss ... ” A. K. murmured. “It’s okay now. I’ve got you. ”
God had reminded me that A. K. understood a thing or how about taking care of us after all.
11月，一个雨天的早上，我已经对周围的一切感到极度厌烦，如果不马上离开家的话，我肯定会对丈夫艾?克发火的。
“我送你去上班吧。” 艾?克说。我猛地穿上夹克，抓起包和教案说：“我已经在这条路上开了很多年了，现在也可以。”
“我说了我送你去上班。”他说着，伸手去够他的靴子。
我看着桌上成堆的报纸和脏盘子，说道：“你闲着没事吗？我能照顾我自己。”说完就仰起头走了，连一个吻和再见都没有。
“唐娜，不要抄近道啊！”他在我身后喊道。
春天时，心脏病迫使丈夫离开了工作岗位。在一所中学教高中的我从教已有22年了，而此刻艾?克则待在家里做家务。
新的生活简直是一场灾难。每天没完没了的开会和上课使我精疲力尽，我想要的只是能回家吃顿热乎乎的家常饭、睡个安稳觉。
然而，桌上摆的总是用微波炉热好的速食品。
一天晚上，我惊讶地发现艾?克把洁白的床单染成了粗布般的深蓝色。
