Marie stood at her kitchen counter and cried, fat tears seared pathways down pale cheeks.
She hated crying, thankfully no one was around to see her.
What would her mother make of her now? What would she say seeing where Marie’s life had taken her? Her mother and warned her against marrying Keith, she knew it was a mistake a mile off but had Marie listened?
Marie sniffed and looked down at the knife glinting in her hands. Bad choice after bad choice had led her here, “why does he have to eat so many bloody onions?” She cried.

Your story makes me think how wisdom tries to warn youthful passions, yet wisdom is born of having those passions knifed. Stark but real.

It’s more than onions bringing her to tears. Perhaps she’ll find a way to happiness.
